Exercise · ZW-MOBIUS-TRANSFORMATION-004 · ★☆☆ Basic
Which point does \(f(z)=\dfrac{z+2}{3z-6}\) send to \(\infty\)?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- B. \(z=2\)
Explanation
It is the zero of the denominator: \(3z-6=0\) gives \(z=2\), where the numerator equals \(4\neq0\). The point \(z=-2\) goes to \(0\).
Review the concept: Möbius transformation
A Möbius transformation is a function of the extended complex plane to itself given by a quotient of two linear expressions with complex coefficients \(a,b,c,d\), arranged so that it is not constant.
\[f(z)=\frac{az+b}{cz+d},\qquad ad-bc\neq0\]
