Q1. Let z and z' be points in C with corresponding points on the unit sphere Z and Z' by stereographic projection. Let N be the north pole N(0,0,1).
a) Show that z and z' are diametrically opposite on the unit sphere iff z(z bar)'=-1 ps. here z bar means conjugate of z
b) Show that the triangles Nz'z and NZZ' are similar. The order of the vertices is important and is as given. Use this to derive the formula for the euclidean distance in R^3 d(Z,Z') = (2|z-z'|)/(sqrt(1+|z|^2)x sqrt(1+|z'|^2))
c) Show that the stereographic projection preserves angles by looking at two lines l1 and l2 through the point z in the complex plane and their images of the Riemann sphere, which are two arcs thru the north pole. Compare the angle between l1 and l2 with the angle of the arcs at N and the image Z of z under the projection.
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
