SJEM2417/SJES2427 Geometry : Tutorial 4

1. Find a M
obius transformation:
(a) sending 1 to 4, 0 to i and to 1
(b) sending 1 to 4, i to i and i to 2
(c) sending 1 to 2, 2 to i and 3 to 1.
2. (a) Find a M
obius transformation of the complex plane that carries the disk {z : |z + i| <
3} to the disk {w : |w 5| < 1}.
(b) Find a M
obius transformation of the complex plane that carries the disk {z : |z + i| <
3} to the lower half-plane {w : Im w < 0}.
(c) Find a M
obius transformation that carries the disk {z : |z| < 2} to the half plane
{w : Re w + Im w > 1}.

7. Let C be the circle
with center i and radius 2. Find the point z symmetric with respect
to C for z = 0, 1, 2, 3 and 3 Draw C and all the points z and z .
8. Show that if C = {p + tei : t R}, the line passing through p and parallel to ei then the
point z symmetric with respect to C is given by z = p + e2i (
z p).
9. Let C be a straight line. Let z and z be distinct symmetric points with respect to C.
Prove that any cline perpendicular to C and passing through z must also pass through z .
Conversely, prove that any cline line that passes through z and z is perpendicular to C.
[Hint. First C = the x-axis and then use the Erlanger Program.]
10. Let C be a cline. Let z and z be distinct symmetric points with respect to C. Prove that
any cline perpendicular to C and passing through z must also pass through z . Conversely,
prove that any cline line that passes through z and z is perpendicular to C.
[Hint. Use the previous question and the Erlanger Program.]
