I'm struggling with this question
Show that the transformation w=z-1/z maps |z-1|=1 in the z-plane to |w|=|w-1| in the w-plane.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hint...start by writing $$z=1+e^{i\theta}$$ and simplifying $$z-\frac 1z$$ You should end up with the real part equal to $\frac 12$ which is equivalent to the required locus
