解答

(a)

The real axis in the zz-plane is y=0y = 0, so z=xz = x.

w=(3i)(x2)x+2u+iv=3(x2)x+2ix2x+2\begin{align*} w = &\,\frac{(\sqrt{3} - \mathrm{i})(x - 2)}{x + 2}\\[4mm] u + \mathrm{i}v = &\,\frac{\sqrt{3}(x - 2)}{x + 2} - \mathrm{i}\frac{x - 2}{x + 2} \end{align*}

Equating the real and imaginary parts:

u=3(x2)x+2v=x2x+2\begin{align*} u = &\,\frac{\sqrt{3}(x - 2)}{x + 2}\\[4mm] v = &\,-\frac{x - 2}{x + 2} \end{align*}

Dividing uu by vv:

uv=31u=3vv=13u\begin{align*} \frac{u}{v} = &\,\frac{\sqrt{3}}{-1}\\[4mm] u = &\,-\sqrt{3}v\\[4mm] v = &\,-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}u \end{align*}

(b)

Rearranging the given transformation to make zz the subject:

w(z+2)=(3i)(z2)wz+2w=(3i)z2(3i)z(w3+i)=2w2(3i)\begin{align*} w(z + 2) = &\,(\sqrt{3} - \mathrm{i})(z - 2)\\[4mm] wz + 2w = &\,(\sqrt{3} - \mathrm{i})z - 2(\sqrt{3} - \mathrm{i})\\[4mm] z(w - \sqrt{3} + \mathrm{i}) = &\,-2w - 2(\sqrt{3} - \mathrm{i}) \end{align*}

Since z=2|z| = 2:

z=2w23+2iw3+i=22w+3iw3+i=2w+3i=w3+i\begin{align*} |z| = &\,\left| \frac{-2w - 2\sqrt{3} + 2\mathrm{i}}{w - \sqrt{3} + \mathrm{i}} \right| = 2\\[4mm] \frac{2|w + \sqrt{3} - \mathrm{i}|}{|w - \sqrt{3} + \mathrm{i}|} = &\,2\\[4mm] |w + \sqrt{3} - \mathrm{i}| = &\,|w - \sqrt{3} + \mathrm{i}| \end{align*}

This represents the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining (3,1)(-\sqrt{3}, 1) and (3,1)(\sqrt{3}, -1). Let w=u+ivw = u + \mathrm{i}v:

(u+3)2+(v1)2=(u3)2+(v+1)2u2+23u+3+v22v+1=u223u+3+v2+2v+143u=4vv=3u\begin{align*} (u + \sqrt{3})^2 + (v - 1)^2 = &\,(u - \sqrt{3})^2 + (v + 1)^2\\[4mm] u^2 + 2\sqrt{3}u + 3 + v^2 - 2v + 1 = &\,u^2 - 2\sqrt{3}u + 3 + v^2 + 2v + 1\\[4mm] 4\sqrt{3}u = &\,4v\\[4mm] v = &\,\sqrt{3}u \end{align*}

(c)

The boundary components of region RR correspond to the lines found in (a) and (b): v=13u    argw=π6v = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}u \implies \arg w = -\frac{\pi}{6} (or 5π6\frac{5\pi}{6}) v=3u    argw=π3v = \sqrt{3}u \implies \arg w = \frac{\pi}{3} (or 2π3-\frac{2\pi}{3})

To find the correct sector mapped from RR, we test a point on the boundary or within RR. Take the origin z=0z = 0 (which is on the boundary of RR, 0<2,y=0|0|<2, y=0):

w=(3i)(02)0+2=3+i\begin{align*} w = &\,\frac{(\sqrt{3} - \mathrm{i})(0 - 2)}{0 + 2}\\[4mm] = &\,-\sqrt{3} + \mathrm{i} \end{align*}

The argument of 3+i-\sqrt{3} + \mathrm{i} is 5π6\frac{5\pi}{6}. Because the region RR requires Im z>0\mathrm{Im} \ z > 0 and is bounded by z<2|z|<2, testing points within the region sets the upper boundary for the argument at 5π6\frac{5\pi}{6} and the lower boundary at π3\frac{\pi}{3}.

Therefore, the image of RR under TT is:

{wC:π3<argw<5π6}\begin{align*} \left\{w \in \mathbb{C} : \frac{\pi}{3} < \arg w < \frac{5\pi}{6}\right\} \end{align*}
