4 .
Mobius transformations of the form where is a positive real constant are called magnifications . The distance between any two points is magnified by the factor under this transformation.
5 . Mobius transformations of the form where is a non-zero complex constant are called dilations . The distance of every point from the origin is magnified by the factor and the point is rotated about the orgin through the angle under this transformation.
6 . Mobius transformations of the form where are called affine transformations . The affine transformation can be considered as the composition of a rotation, a magnification and a translation.
7 . The Mobius transformation is called an inversion.
A Mobius transformation is a one-to-one function. To see this, suppose that Then
