- Let f (z) = Az + B and g ( z) = C z + E be two linear transformations. Then
h(z) = j (g(z)) = f (Cz+E) = A(Cz +E) +B = ACz+ (E+B), which
is the required form for a linear transformation.

la. Using Equation (2-9) we see that, if A = {(x, y): y = 1}, then f (A)
{ ( u, v) : u = x^2 - 1, v = 2x} = { ( u, v) : u = ~ -1}.

indeed is mapped between these two parabolas.

between v = i and v = 2i. Show the details in a manner similar to the answer
for part a.

- See also problem 2. T he fallacy lies in the assumption implicit in the second
equality that y1ziZ2 = Fi ..fZ2 for all complex numbers z1 and z2. Assuming
~ .Arg(.i1.i2)
the principal square root is used, then ylziZ2 = jz 1 z2I e• 2. This will
equal ./Zi.../Z2 = lzd! ei~ lz2I! ei~ precisely when Arg(z1z2) =
Arg (zi} + Arg (z2)-explain! The latter equality is plainly false when z 1 =
z 2 = -1. (Again, explain.) To give a very thorough answer to this problem,
you should state precisely when the last equality is true, and justify your
assertion.
