Problem
A transformation maps points from the z-plane, where z=x+iy, to the w-plane, where w=u+iv. The transformation is given by
w=z−i(2+i)z+4z=i
The transformation maps the imaginary axis in the z-plane onto the line l in the w-plane.
Determine a Cartesian equation of l, giving your answer in the form au+bv+c=0 where a, b and c are integers to be found.

imaginary axis 上的点满足 z=iy,其中 y 是实数。把它直接代入 transformation,就能把 u 和 v 都表示成 y 的函数。然后消去 y,得到 w-plane 中的直线方程。

On the imaginary axis in the z-plane,
z=iy.
Substitute this into the transformation:
w===iy−i(2+i)(iy)+4i(y−1)2iy+i2y+4i(y−1)4−y+2iy.
Multiply numerator and denominator by −i:
w==y−1(4−y+2iy)(−i)y−12y−(4−y)i.
Since w=u+iv,
u=v=y−12y,y−1y−4.
From
u=y−12y,
we get
u(y−1)=2y.
So
uy−u=2y⟹y(u−2)=u.
Hence
y=u−2u.
Now use
v=y−1y−4.
Substitute y=u−2u:
v===u−2u−1u−2u−4u−(u−2)u−4(u−2)2−3u+8.
Therefore
2v=−3u+8.
So the Cartesian equation of l is
3u+2v−8=0.

也可以先把 transformation 反过来,把 z 表示成 w。因为 imaginary axis 的条件是 Re(z)=0,所以把反解后的 z 写成 u,v 的形式,再令实部为 0。

Start with
w=z−i(2+i)z+4.
Then
w(z−i)=(2+i)z+4.
Expand and collect the terms involving z:
wz−iw=wz−(2+i)z=(2+i)z+4,iw+4.
So
z=w−2−iiw+4.
Now put w=u+iv:
z==u+iv−2−ii(u+iv)+4u−2+i(v−1)4−v+iu.
Multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator:
z=(u−2)2+(v−1)2(4−v+iu)(u−2−i(v−1)).
The denominator is real, so the real part of z comes from the real part of the numerator. Expand the numerator:
=(4−v+iu)(u−2−i(v−1))(4−v)(u−2)+u(v−1)+i[u(u−2)−(4−v)(v−1)].
Since z lies on the imaginary axis,
Re(z)=0.
Therefore
(4−v)(u−2)+u(v−1)=0.
Expand:
(4−v)(u−2)+u(v−1)==4u−8−uv+2v+uv−u3u+2v−8.
Hence
3u+2v−8=0.
