ANSWER: (c).

The line x=1 is transformed into a parabola with the mapping f(z)=z. (z=x+iy)

Explanation:

Denote w=f(z)=z=u+iv. f(1+iy)= (1+iy)=1-y2+2iy. Determining the real and imaginery

part of w, we obtain the parametric equation of the image of a line x=1: u=1-y, v=2y.

Excluding the parameter «y» , we get the u=1-v2/4 (a parabola).
