For Exercises 2- 5, find the angle of rotation a= Argf' (z) and the scale factor
I f ' ( z) I of the mapping w = f ( z) at the indicated points.
- w = .!. at the points 1, 1 + i, and i.
z - w =In r + ifJ, where - 2 " < () <^3 ; at the points 1, 1 + i , i, and -1.
- w = r4 cos~+ irt sin~, where -7r < () < 7r, at the points i, l, -i, and 3 + 4i.
- w =sin z at the points ~ + i, 0, and -; + i.
- Consider the mapping w = z^2 • If a # 0 and b # 0, show that the lines x = a and
y = b are mapped onto orthogonal parabolas. - Consider the mapping w = z!, where z~ denotes the principal branch of the
square root function. If a > 0 and b > 0, show that the lines x = a and y = b are
mapped onto orthogonal curves. - Consider the mapping w = expz. Show that the lines x = a and y =bare mapped
onto orthogonal curves. - Consider the mapping w = sin z. Show that the line segment -; < x < ~, y = 0,
and the vertical line x = a, where lal < i, are mapped onto orthogonal curves. - Consider the mapping w = Logz, where Logz denotes the principal branch of the
logarithm function. Show that the positive x-axis and the vertical line x = 1 are
mapped onto orthogonal curves.
