Complex analysis (identity proof)

$begingroup$


I want to prove $|1-bar zw|=|1-zbar w|$.



The crux being $forall z,win mathbb C: bar zw=zbar w$



Work done so far: I tried breaking down $z$ and $w$ into its components and brute-force my way to validate the equality, but I was not able to prove it.



Any help will be greatly appreciated.

          Hint:



          We have $|bar{x}|=|x|$. You just have to identify what should be the $x$ in your question.



          Also, in general, $bar{z}w ne zbar{w}$.

            Hint:



            We have $|bar{x}|=|x|$. You just have to identify what should be the $x$ in your question.



            Also, in general, $bar{z}w ne zbar{w}$.
