To describe the set $D = \left\{ z \in \mathbb{C} : \operatorname{Im} \left( \frac{z - 2}{z + 2} \right) = 1 \right\}$ both algebraically and graphically, let’s proceed step by step.

Step 1: Understanding the Set

We have a condition on the imaginary part of the expression $\frac{z - 2}{z + 2}$, where $z$ is a complex number. We aim to identify the values of $z$ such that the imaginary part of this expression equals 1.

Let $z = x + iy$, where $x$ and $y$ are real numbers, and $i$ is the imaginary unit.

Step 2: Substitute $z = x + iy$

Substitute $z = x + iy$ into $\frac{z - 2}{z + 2}$:

$\frac{z - 2}{z + 2} = \frac{(x + iy) - 2}{(x + iy) + 2} = \frac{(x - 2) + iy}{(x + 2) + iy}$

Step 3: Simplify Using the Conjugate

To find the imaginary part, we rationalize the denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator:

$\frac{(x - 2) + iy}{(x + 2) + iy} \cdot \frac{(x + 2) - iy}{(x + 2) - iy} = \frac{((x - 2) + iy)((x + 2) - iy)}{(x + 2)^2 + y^2}$

Expanding the numerator:

$= \frac{(x - 2)(x + 2) - i y(x + 2) + i y (x - 2) - i^2 y^2}{(x + 2)^2 + y^2}$

Since $i^2 = -1$, simplify further. After obtaining the real and imaginary components, equate the imaginary part to 1.

Step 4: Graphical Interpretation

This condition usually describes a locus in the complex plane, likely a line or curve. Solving further would give a specific algebraic condition on $x$ and $y$, which can then be plotted.

Here are five related questions that could help deepen understanding:

1. What does it mean when the imaginary part of a complex expression is equal to a constant?
2. How can we use conjugates to simplify complex fractions?
3. How would the set $D$ change if the imaginary part were a different constant?
4. What geometric shapes commonly arise from constraints on imaginary parts in complex numbers?
5. How can algebraic manipulation reveal insights about the geometry of complex sets?

Tip: For expressions involving complex fractions, rationalizing the denominator by multiplying with the conjugate often helps to separate real and imaginary parts.
