Exercise 1.  Find a parametrization of the line that  

1 (c).  joins the point  [Graphics:Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyModHome_gr_17.gif]  to the point [Graphics:Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyModHome_gr_18.gif].  

Solution 1 (c).

See text and/or instructor's solution manual.

        [Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyModHome_gr_19.gif]

We are done.   

Aside.  We can let Mathematica double check our work.

[Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyModHome_gr_20.gif]

        

         [Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyModHome_gr_21.gif]

  

        The line  [Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyModHome_gr_22.gif],   and  

        the initial point is  [Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyModHome_gr_23.gif]  and the terminal point is  [Graphics:../Images/ComplexPlaneTopologyModHome_gr_24.gif].
