Geometric Interpretation

  • The inequality represents distances in the complex plane.
  • Distance from is strictly less than distance from .

The Perpendicular Bisector

  • The boundary where distances are equal is the perpendicular bisector.
  • Midpoint:
  • Boundary line:

Identifying the Region

  • Since distance to is smaller, lies closer to .
  • This means is to the right of the bisector.
  • Condition:

Final Conclusion

  • Multiply by :
  • This matches Option (3).

Analyzing the Setup

We are given a complex number such that and a Möbius transformation defined by:
Our goal is to determine the region in the -plane that corresponds to the interior of the unit disk in the -plane.

The Art of Inverse Mapping

The most common mistake is attempting to substitute directly. Instead, we use the power of inverse mapping to view the transformation from the perspective of .
Starting with the transformation, we cross-multiply:
Expanding this, we obtain:
Next, we group the terms involving on one side:
Factoring out , we find:
Finally, we isolate to express it as a function of :

The Geometric Leap

We apply the given condition to our inverse expression:
Using the property that the modulus of a quotient is the quotient of the moduli, we have:
Since the modulus is always positive, we multiply the denominator across:
Dividing both sides by yields the simplified inequality:

The Final Revelation

This inequality represents the set of points that are closer to than to in the complex plane. The boundary of this region is the perpendicular bisector of the segment connecting and .
The midpoint of this segment is:
The boundary is therefore the vertical line . Since is closer to , it must lie to the right of this line.
Conclusion: The region is defined by , which can also be written as .
