Find the equation of the inverse of the unit circle

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Lucas Brown

The equation of the unit circle is:

\n

$ x^2 + y^2 = 1 $

\n

To find the inverse, we use the transformation:

\n

$ z = \x0crac{1}{x + yi} $

\n

where $ z = u + vi $ and $ x + yi = \x0crac{1}{u – vi} $.

\n

Therefore, the inverse relation in terms of $u$ and $v$ becomes:

\n

$ u = \x0crac{x}{x^2 + y^2} = x $

\n

$ v = \x0crac{-y}{x^2 + y^2} = -y $

\n

Thus, the equation of the inverse of the unit circle is:

\n

$ u^2 + v^2 = 1 $

Answer 2

Alex Thompson

Emily Hall

The unit circle equation is:

$ x^2 + y^2 = 1 $

Using the transformation:

$ z = x0crac{1}{x + yi} $

$ x + yi = x0crac{1}{u – vi} $

The inverse relationship becomes:

$ u = x $

$ v = -y $

The equation of the inverse unit circle is:

$ u^2 + v^2 = 1 $

Answer 3

Amelia Mitchell

Samuel Scott

The unit circle is:

$ x^2 + y^2 = 1 $

Using the transformation:

$ z = x0crac{1}{x + yi} $

The inverse relations are:

$ u = x $

$ v = -y $

The inverse unit circle equation is:

$ u^2 + v^2 = 1 $
