Find the value of \(f(-i)\).
Möbius transformation: \(w={\dfrac {az+b}{cz+d}}\) of one complex variable z; here the coefficients a, b, c, d are complex number.
\( a=\det {\begin{pmatrix}z_{1}w_{1}&w_{1}&1\\z_{2}w_{2}&w_{2}&1\\z_{3}w_{3}&w_{3}&1\end{pmatrix}}\, \\ b=\det {\begin{pmatrix}z_{1}w_{1}&z_{1}&w_{1}\\z_{2}w_{2}&z_{2}&w_{2}\\z_{3}w_{3}&z_{3}&w_{3}\end{pmatrix}}\, \\ c=\det {\begin{pmatrix}z_{1}&w_{1}&1\\z_{2}&w_{2}&1\\z_{3}&w_{3}&1\end{pmatrix}}\, \\ d=\det {\begin{pmatrix}z_{1}w_{1}&z_{1}&1\\z_{2}w_{2}&z_{2}&1\\z_{3}w_{3}&z_{3}&1\end{pmatrix}}\)
