(A) Let w=2(cos θ+isin θ)  Then (1/w)=(1/2)(cos θ−isin θ)  w−(1/w)=(3/2)cos θ+(5/2)isin θ=x+iy(=z)  ⇒cos θ=((2x)/3); sin θ=((2y)/5)  ((4x^2 )/9)+((4y^2 )/(25))=1⇒Ellipse with e = (4/5)  (B) w=cos θ+isin θ; (1/w)=cos θ−isin θ  z=2cos θ  ∴ ∣z∣≤2 and Im(z)=0.

$$\left(\boldsymbol{\mathrm{A}}\right)\:{Let}\:{w}=\mathrm{2}\left(\mathrm{cos}\:\theta+{i}\mathrm{sin}\:\theta\right) \\ $$$${Then}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{w}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\left(\mathrm{cos}\:\theta−{i}\mathrm{sin}\:\theta\right) \\ $$$${w}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{w}}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{cos}\:\theta+\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{2}}{i}\mathrm{sin}\:\theta={x}+{iy}\left(={z}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{cos}\:\theta=\frac{\mathrm{2}{x}}{\mathrm{3}};\:\mathrm{sin}\:\theta=\frac{\mathrm{2}{y}}{\mathrm{5}} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{4}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{9}}+\frac{\mathrm{4}{y}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{25}}=\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow{Ellipse}\:{with}\:{e}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{5}} \\ $$$$\left(\boldsymbol{\mathrm{B}}\right)\:{w}=\mathrm{cos}\:\theta+{i}\mathrm{sin}\:\theta;\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{w}}=\mathrm{cos}\:\theta−{i}\mathrm{sin}\:\theta \\ $$$${z}=\mathrm{2cos}\:\theta \\ $$$$\therefore\:\mid{z}\mid\leqslant\mathrm{2}\:{and}\:{Im}\left({z}\right)=\mathrm{0}. \\ $$
