The transformation T : z → w in the complex plane is defined by w =
az + b z + c
, where a, b, c ∈ R.
Given that w = 3i when z = −3i, and w = 10 − 4i when z = 1 + 4i, find the values of a, b and c.
(a) Show that the points for which z is transformed to z lie on a circle and give the centre and radius of this circle.
(b) Show that the line through the point z = 4 and perpendicular to the real axis is invariant under T.
Let x, y, u, v be real numbers and z, w be complex numbers such that z = x + iy, w = u+iv. In each case, describe the locus of the point (u, v) in the Argand diagram.

In an Argand diagram, the point P represents the complex number z, where z = x+iy. Given that z+2 = λi(z+8), where λ is a real parameter, find the Cartesian equation of the locus of P as λ varies. If also z = µ(4 + 3i), where µ is real, prove that there is only one possible position for P.

diagram, deduce that arg(z1 + z2) = 5π/12. Hence show that tan(5π/12) = 2 + √
