[Math] Find a linear fractional transformation that maps $(1, 4, ∞)$ onto $(0, 1 – i, 1 + i)$ and another one that maps $|z| = 1$ onto Re$((1 + i)w) = 0$

complex-analysismobius-transformation

I am stuck on these two kind of questions:

  1. Find the linear fractional transformation that maps $(1, 4, ∞)$ onto $(0, 1 – i, 1 + i)$.

  2. Find the linear fractional transformation that maps the circle $|z| = 1$ onto the line $\operatorname{Re}((1 + i)w) = 0$.

I know how to do type $1$ if there is no infinity in the bracket, but how can I handle the infinity there?

For type $2$, I don't have any idea. I played around with the formula $T(z) = \frac{(az + b)}{(cz + d)}$ but can't get the answer.

If $T(1)=0$, take $T(z)=\dfrac{a(z-1)}{cz+d}$.

If, furthermore, $T(\infty)=1+i$, take $a=1+i, c=1$ and get $T(z)=\dfrac{(1+i)(z-1)}{z+d}$.

Now find $d$ such that $T(4)=1-i$.
