We always have Arg(z 1 z ) Arg(z 1 ) + Arg(z ). Arg(z 1 z ) Arg(z 1 ) + Arg(z ) + kπ for some integer k. Since Re(z 1 ) > 0 and Re(z ) > 0, π/ < Arg(z 1 ) < π/ and π/ < Arg(z ) < π/ and hence And since π < Arg(z 1 ) + Arg(z ) < π. π < Arg(z 1 z ) π,

Justify your answer. Solution. (a) It is not a domain since it is not open; choose a point z 0 satisfying z 0 +i 1 and the disk z z 0 < r is not contained in the set for all r > 0. It is closed since { z +i > 1} is open and it is bounded since z i + 1 < 4 for all z satisfying z + i 1. (b) It is a domain since it is open and connected.

(e) It is not a domain since it is not open; choose a point z 0 satisfying Im(z) 1 and the disk z z 0 < r is not contained in the set for all r > 0. It is closed since {Im(z) 1} is open. It is not bounded since one can find a sequence z n satisfying Im(z) 1 such that lim n z n. For example, let z n n + i. (f) It is not a domain since it is not open; choose a point z 0 satisfying arg(z) 0 and the disk z z 0 < r is not contained in the set for all r > 0. It is not closed since 0 does not lie in the set and the disk z < r meets the set for all r > 0. It is not bounded since one can find a sequence z n satisfying arg(z) 0 such that lim n z n. For example, let z n n.
