Finding the image of this line under 1/z












3












$begingroup$


Let $T(z)=1/z$. Find the image of $y=2x+1$ under $T$.



I assume x and y are the real and imaginary part of z.



Basically what I need was let $w=1/(x+(2x+1)i)$ then multiplied by the complex conjugate we have that the real imaginary part of x.



We have



$$w=frac{x}{x^2+(2x+1)^2}+frac{(2x+1)}{x^2+(2x+1)^2}i$$



Then should we equate coefficient with the equation of a circle? I dont know how to proceed.



From university, I know that the image must be a circle or a line since the transformation is a Mobius transformation. How is an A level student meant to get this?



i just looked at another question. Do i need to find two points such that this line is the locus for those two points? Then i sub that in?

Let $w=frac 1zimplies z=frac 1w$



We write $w=u+iv$, so that $$z=x+iy=frac{1}{u+iv}=frac{u-iv}{u^2+v^2}$$



Then $$y=2x+1implies -frac{v}{u^2+v^2}=frac{2u}{u^2+v^2}+1$$



This is a circle $$u^2+v^2+2u+v=0$$

Let $w=frac 1zimplies z=frac 1w$



We write $w=u+iv$, so that $$z=x+iy=frac{1}{u+iv}=frac{u-iv}{u^2+v^2}$$



Then $$y=2x+1implies -frac{v}{u^2+v^2}=frac{2u}{u^2+v^2}+1$$



This is a circle $$u^2+v^2+2u+v=0$$
