Let $$S$$ be the set of points in the complex plane corresponding to the unit circle. $$\left( {i.e.,\,\,S = \left\{ {z:\left| z \right| = 1} \right\}} \right.$$ Consider the function $$f\left( z \right) = z{z^ * }$$ where $${z^ * }$$ denotes the complex conjugate of $$z.$$ The $$f(z)$$ maps $$S$$ to which one of the following in the complex plane?

$$\oint {{{{z^2} - 4} \over {{z^2} + 4}}} dz\,\,$$ evaluated anticlockwise around the circular $$\left| {z - i} \right| = 2,$$ where $$i = \sqrt { - 1} $$, is

Given $$f\left( z \right) = {1 \over {z + 1}} - {2 \over {z + 3}}.$$ If $$C$$ is a counterclockwise path in the $$z$$-plane such that
$$\left| {z + 1} \right| = 1,$$ the value of $${1 \over {2\,\pi \,j}}\oint\limits_c {f\left( z \right)dz} $$ is

If $$x = \sqrt { - 1} ,\,\,$$ then the value of $${X^x}$$ is
