How to prove $f(z)=z+frac{1}{z}$ maps circles with $r> 1$ onto ellipses of the form $$frac{x^2}{(r+frac{1}{r})^2}+frac{y^2}{(r-frac{1}{r})^2}=1?$$ It is simple to understand the mapping to part. You just replace $z$ with $re^{Itheta}$ which simplifies to $$ k(theta)=f(re^{itheta})=re^{itheta}+frac{1}{re^{itheta}}=(r+frac{1}{r})cos(theta)+i(r-frac{1}{r})sin(theta)$$ which is the parameterization of the ellipse given above. However, I do not understand how it maps onto. I tried to produce a right inverse and got $h(y)=-iln(frac{y+sqrt{y^2-4}}{2r})$ and $g(y)=-iln(frac{y-sqrt{y^2-4}}{2r})$ which works but is not a real number. I believe this is a problem. How would I produce a correct right inverse or prove it is onto?

Let $S(r)$ denote the circle with center $0$ and radius $r ne 1$ and $E(r)$ the ellipse defined in your question. You have shown that $I(r) = f(S(r)) subset E(r)$.
For $M subset mathbb{C}$ define $-M = { -z mid z in M}$. We have $S(r) = -S(r)$ and $E(r) = -E(r)$.
We have $f(-z) = -f(z)$ which implies $f(-M) = -f(M)$ for $M subset mathbb{C} setminus { 0 }$. Hence $I(r) = f(S(r)) = f(-S(r)) = -f(S(r)) = -I(r)$.
Now assume that $I(r) ne E(r)$. Choose $w in E(r) setminus I(r)$. We have $w notin I(r)$, hence also $-w notin -I(r) = I(r)$. Therefore $I(r) subset E'(r) = E(r) setminus { w,-w }$. The set $E'(r)$ has two connected components $E_i(r)$ which satisfy $E_1(r) = -E_2(r)$.
$I(r)$ is the continuous image of the connected set $S(r)$, hence it is connected and we conclude that $I(r) subset E_i(r)$ either for $i=1$ or $i=2$, wl.o.g. for $i=1$. But then also $I(r) = -I(r) subset - E_1(r) = E_2(r)$ which is impossible.
Therefore we must have $I(r) = E(r)$.

Let $z=x+iy$ with $x^2+y^2=r^2$.
We have
$$z+frac1z=x+iy+frac{x-iy}{x^2+y^2}=xleft(1+frac1{r^2}right)+iyleft(1-frac1{r^2}right)=u+iv.$$
From this,
$$left(frac{u}{1+dfrac1{r^2}}right)^2+left(frac{v}{1-dfrac1{r^2}}right)^2=r^2.$$
Note that the transformation is a mere scaling.

For $M subset mathbb{C}$ define $-M = { -z mid z in M}$. We have $S(r) = -S(r)$ and $E(r) = -E(r)$.
We have $f(-z) = -f(z)$ which implies $f(-M) = -f(M)$ for $M subset mathbb{C} setminus { 0 }$. Hence $I(r) = f(S(r)) = f(-S(r)) = -f(S(r)) = -I(r)$.
Now assume that $I(r) ne E(r)$. Choose $w in E(r) setminus I(r)$. We have $w notin I(r)$, hence also $-w notin -I(r) = I(r)$. Therefore $I(r) subset E'(r) = E(r) setminus { w,-w }$. The set $E'(r)$ has two connected components $E_i(r)$ which satisfy $E_1(r) = -E_2(r)$.
$I(r)$ is the continuous image of the connected set $S(r)$, hence it is connected and we conclude that $I(r) subset E_i(r)$ either for $i=1$ or $i=2$, wl.o.g. for $i=1$. But then also $I(r) = -I(r) subset - E_1(r) = E_2(r)$ which is impossible.

Let $z=x+iy$ with $x^2+y^2=r^2$.
We have
$$z+frac1z=x+iy+frac{x-iy}{x^2+y^2}=xleft(1+frac1{r^2}right)+iyleft(1-frac1{r^2}right)=u+iv.$$

Have you seen the parametrization $x=a cosphi, y=bsinphi,phiin[0,2pi),$ of the ellipse $$frac{x^2}{a^2}+frac{y^2}{b^2}=1?$$ It probably/possibly made an appearance in calculus when discussing parametrized curves?

Your initial parameterization of the circle uses the full interval $theta in [0,2pi)$ - the same interval for the parameterization of a full ellipse.

I have seen this. I, also see that as we traverse the circle, we will traverse the ellipse in essentially the same way; however, that just doesn't seem like it follows to a formal argument.

If you know that all the points of that ellipse are of the form $x=acostheta, y=bsintheta$, then surely that is a formal argument for the mapping being onto!

Are the circles centered at the origin? If not, then the claim fails for any circle that touches the origin (which is mapped to infinity).
