Let w=u+ivw=u+i v and let z=x+iyz=x+i y, for u,v,x,yu, v, x, y real.

(a) Let A be the map defined by w=zw=\sqrt{z}, using the principal branch. Show that A maps the region to the left of the parabola y2=4(1x)y^{2}=4(1-x) on the zz- plane, with the negative real axis x(,0]x \in(-\infty, 0] removed, into the vertical strip of the ww- plane between the lines u=0u=0 and u=1u=1.

(b) Let B\mathrm{B} be the map defined by w=tan2(z/2)w=\tan ^{2}(z / 2). Show that B\mathrm{B} maps the vertical strip of the zz-plane between the lines x=0x=0 and x=π/2x=\pi / 2 into the region inside the unit circle on the ww-plane, with the part u(1,0]u \in(-1,0] of the negative real axis removed.

(c) Using the results of parts (a) and (b), show that the map C, defined by w=tan2(πz/4)w=\tan ^{2}(\pi \sqrt{z} / 4), maps the region to the left of the parabola y2=4(1x)y^{2}=4(1-x) on the zz-plane, including the negative real axis, onto the unit disc on the ww-plane.
