If |z| = 1 and z ≠ ± 1, then all the values of z/(1-z²) lie on
∣z∣=1,z=±1
so z lies on the unit circle, z=1, −1
1−z2z
Find the locus these values satisfy
∣z∣=1⇒zˉ=z1
w=1−z2z
w=1−z2z
wˉ=1−zˉ2zˉ
wˉ=1−1/z21/z
wˉ=z2z2−11/z
=z1⋅z2−1z2
wˉ=z2−1z
wˉ=z2−1z=−1−z2z
wˉ=−w
wˉ=−w⇒2Re(w)=0
w=0+iy(purely imaginary)
Trace of w: the y-axis
z=eiθ,θ=0, π
w=1−e2iθeiθ
1−e2iθ=eiθ(e−iθ−eiθ)
w=eiθ(e−iθ−eiθ)eiθ=e−iθ−eiθ1
eiθ−e−iθ=2isinθ
w=−2isinθ1
w=2sinθi
sinθ=0⇒w=0, but w stays on the y-axis
Answer: (4) the y-axis
