3u2+3v2−2u+v+k=0

因为已知的是 z-plane 中的直线 y=4x,而要求的是 w-plane 中的圆,所以可以先把 z 用 w 表示,再把 w=u+iv 代入,得到 x,y 关于 u,v 的表达式。

From
w=z−3z+1
make z the subject:
w(z−3)=wz−3w=z(w−1)=z=z+1z+13w+1w−13w+1
Now let w=u+iv:
z==u+iv−13(u+iv)+1(u−1)+iv(3u+1)+3iv
Rationalise the denominator:
z=(u−1)2+v2((3u+1)+3iv)((u−1)−iv)
Expand the numerator:
((3u+1)+3iv)((u−1)−iv)==(3u+1)(u−1)+3v2+i(3v(u−1)−v(3u+1))3u2−2u+3v2−1−4iv
Since z=x+iy,
x=y=(u−1)2+v23u2−2u+3v2−1(u−1)2+v2−4v
The line in the z-plane is y=4x, so
(u−1)2+v2−4v=4((u−1)2+v23u2−2u+3v2−1)
Multiplying by the common denominator,
−4v=0=0=12u2−8u+12v2−412u2+12v2−8u+4v−43u2+3v2−2u+v−1
Therefore
3u2+3v2−2u+v+k=0
where
k=−1

另一条路线是不先反解 z,而是直接把直线 y=4x 写成 z=x+4ix,代入变换式。这样得到 u,v 关于参数 x 的表达式,再代入目标圆的左边检验。

On the line y=4x,
z=x+4ix
Substitute into the transformation:
w==x+4ix−3x+4ix+1(x−3)+4ix(x+1)+4ix⋅(x−3)−4ix(x−3)−4ix
The denominator is
(x−3)2+16x2=17x2−6x+9
The numerator is
((x+1)+4ix)((x−3)−4ix)==(x+1)(x−3)+16x2+i(4x(x−3)−4x(x+1))17x2−2x−3−16ix
Hence
u=v=17x2−6x+917x2−2x−317x2−6x+9−16x
Substituting these into 3u2+3v2−2u+v−1 gives
3u2+3v2−2u+v−1=(17x2−6x+9)23(17x2−2x−3)2+3(−16x)2−17x2−6x+92(17x2−2x−3)−17x2−6x+916x−1
Putting the terms over the common denominator (17x2−6x+9)2 and simplifying gives
3u2+3v2−2u+v−1===(17x2−6x+9)23(17x2−2x−3)2+768x2−(17x2−6x+9)22(17x2−2x−3)(17x2−6x+9)−(17x2−6x+9)216x(17x2−6x+9)−(17x2−6x+9)2(17x2−6x+9)2(17x2−6x+9)2(289x4−204x3+342x2−108x+81)−(17x2−6x+9)2(289x4−204x3+342x2−108x+81)0
Hence
3u2+3v2−2u+v−1=0
Therefore C has equation
3u2+3v2−2u+v−1=0
so
k=−1

由 (a) 得到圆的方程后,除以 3 再配方。注意 v 的一次项是 +31v,所以配方中心的 v 坐标会是负数。

From part (a),
3u2+3v2−2u+v−1=0
Divide by 3:
u2−32u+v2+31v−31=0
Complete the square:
(u−31)2−91+(v+61)2−361−31=(u−31)2+(v+61)2===091+361+31364+1+123617
Therefore the centre is
(31,−61)
and the radius is
617
