13. Square Transformation
 Let z=r𝑒 𝑖𝛉 & w=R𝑒 𝑖𝜙 than the square transformation is defined as w=𝑧2 .
R𝑒 𝑖𝜙=(r𝑒 𝑖𝛉)2
R=𝑟2, 𝜙=2𝛉
Ex.1:- Find the image of the triangular region bounded by the lines 𝑥 = 1, 𝑦 =
1, 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 1 under the transformation w=𝑧2
.
Solution: w=𝑧2
𝑢 + 𝑖𝑣 = (𝑥 + 𝑖𝑦)2
𝑢 + 𝑖𝑣 = 𝑥2
− 𝑦2
+ 2𝑖𝑥𝑦

14. Comparing real & imaginary parts,
𝑢 = 𝑥2
− 𝑦2
, 𝑣 = 2𝑥𝑦
1) When𝑥 = 1,
𝑢 = 1 − 𝑦2, 𝑣 = 2𝑦
∴y =
v
2
Substituting 𝑦 in 𝑢,
𝑢 = 1 −
𝑣2
4
4𝑢 = 4 − 𝑣2
∴ 𝑣2 = −4(𝑢 − 1)
Which represents a parabola with vertex (1,0) and opening to left of the vertex.
The image of the line 𝑥 = 1 is the parabola 𝑣2 = −4(𝑢 − 1).

15. 2) When 𝑦 = 1,
𝑢 = 𝑥2
− 1, 𝑣 = 2𝑥
∴ 𝑥 =
𝑣
2
Substituting 𝑥 in 𝑢,
𝑢 =
𝑣2
4
− 1
4𝑢 = 𝑣2 − 4
∴ 𝑣2
= 4(𝑢 + 1)
Which represents a parabola with vertex (-1,0) and opening to right of the
vertex.
The image of the line y= 1 is the parabola 𝑣2 = 4(𝑢 + 1).

16. 3) When 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 1,
𝑥 + 𝑦 2 = 1
𝑥2 + 𝑦2 + 2𝑥𝑦 = 1
𝑥2
+ 𝑦2 2
= 1 − 2𝑥𝑦 2
𝑥2 − 𝑦2 2=1 − 4𝑥𝑦
Substituting 𝑢 = (𝑥2
− 𝑦2
) and 𝑣 = 2𝑥𝑦,
𝑢2 = 1 − 2𝑣 = −2 𝑣 −
1
2
Which represents a parabola with vertex 0,
1
2
opening below the vertex.
The image of the line 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 1 is the parabola 𝑢2 = 1 − 2𝑣.

18. Ex2:- Find the image of the square with vertices (0,0), (2,0), (2,2), (0,2) in the z-
plane under the transformation 𝑤 = 𝑧2 .
Solution:
let ABCD be the square in the z-plane with vertices A(0,0), B(2,0), C(2,2), D(0,2) .
1) For AB y=0,
u = 𝑥2
, 𝑣 = 0
Which represents the right part of the right part of the u-axis where u>0.
The image of the line y=0 is the right part of the u-axis (u>0).
w=𝑧2
𝑢 + 𝑖𝑣 = (𝑥𝑖𝑦)2
𝑢 + 𝑖𝑣 = 𝑥2
− 𝑦2
+ 2𝑖𝑥𝑦
Comparing real & imaginary parts,
𝑢 = 𝑥2 − 𝑦2, 𝑣 = 2𝑥𝑦

19. 2) For BC x=2,
𝑢 = 4 − 𝑦2 , 𝑦 = 4𝑦
𝑦 =
𝑣
4
Substituting y in u,
𝑢 = 4 −
𝑣2
16
∴ 𝑣2 = −16(𝑢 − 4)
Which represents a parabola with vertex (4,0) and opening to left of the vertex.
The image of the line x=2 is the parabola 𝑣2 = −16(𝑢 − 4).

20. 3) for CD y=2,
𝑢 = 𝑥2
− 4, 𝑣 = 4𝑥
𝑥 =
𝑣
4
Substituting x in u,
𝑢 =
𝑣2
16
− 4
∴ 𝑣2
= 16(𝑢 + 4)
Which represents a parabola with vertex (-4,0) and opening to right of the
vertex.
The image of the line y=2 is the parabola 𝑣2
= 16(𝑢 + 4).

21. 4) For DA x=0,
u = −𝑦2
, 𝑣 = 0
Which represents the left part of the right part of the u-axis where u<0.
The image of the line x=0 is the right part of the u-axis (u<0).

24. Example1 :- Find the image of 2x+y-3=0 under the transformation w=z=2i
Solution
W=z+2i
u+iv=x+iy+2i
=x+i(y+2)
Comparing real and imaginary parts,
u=x, v=y+2
x=u, y=v-2
Given
2x+y-3=0
2u+(v-2)-3=0
2u+v-5=0

25. Hence, the 2x+y-3=0 in the z-plane is mapped onto a line 2u+v-5=0 in
the w-plane

26. Example 2:- Detrmine and sketch the image of 𝑧 =1 under the transformation
w=z+i.

u=x, v=y+1
x=u, y=v-1
𝑧 =1
𝑥2 +𝑦2 =1
𝑥2 +𝑦2 =1
𝑢2
+(𝑣 − 1)2

27. Hence the image of the circle 𝑧 =1 in the z- plane is the
circle 𝑢2
+(𝑣 − 1)2
with the centre at (0,1) and radius of 1 in the w-plane

28. Example 3:- Find the image of 𝑧 =2 under the mapping w=z+3+2i.
W=z+3+2i
u+iv = x+iy+3+2i
=(x+3i)+i(y+2)
Comparing real and imaginary parts,
u=x+3, v=y+2
x=u-3, y=v-2
𝑧 =2
𝑥2 +𝑦2 =2
𝑥2 +𝑦2 =4
(𝑢 − 3)2 +(𝑣 − 2)2=4

29. Hence, the circle 𝑧 =2 in the z- plane is the
circle with the centre at (3,2) and radius of 2 in the w-plane
