解答
(a)
The transformation is given by:
w=z−3z+1
Rearrange to make z the subject:
w(z−3)=wz−3w=z(w−1)=z=z+1z+13w+1w−13w+1
Let z=x+iy and w=u+iv:
x+iy==u+iv−13(u+iv)+1(u−1)+iv(3u+1)+i(3v)
Multiply the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator, (u−1)−iv:
x+iy==(u−1)2+v2[(3u+1)+i(3v)][(u−1)−iv](u−1)2+v2(3u+1)(u−1)+3v2+i[3v(u−1)−v(3u+1)]
Equate the real parts (x) and the imaginary parts (y):
x=y=(u−1)2+v23u2−3u+u−1+3v2=(u−1)2+v23u2−2u+3v2−1(u−1)2+v23uv−3v−3uv−v=(u−1)2+v2−4v
We are given the line equation y=4x. Substituting our expressions for x and y:
(u−1)2+v2−4v=4((u−1)2+v23u2−2u+3v2−1)
Since (u−1)2+v2=0:
−4v=−v=0=12u2−8u+12v2−43u2−2u+3v2−13u2+3v2−2u+v−1
This matches the form 3u2+3v2−2u+v+k=0, where k=−1.
(b)
Divide the equation of the circle by 3 to complete the square:
u2−32u+v2+31v−31=(u−31)2−91+(v+61)2−361−31=(u−31)2+(v+61)2=(u−31)2+(v+61)2=(u−31)2+(v+61)2=0091+361+31364+1+123617
(i) The coordinates of the centre of C are (31,−61).
(ii) The radius of C is 3617=617.
