Midterm Review Questions


Spring 2017

1. Find the polar form of the following complex numbers:


(a) (1 i) (Answer: 8ei3 / 2 )
6
(b) 8 (1 3i) (Answer: 16 ei 4 / 3 )

z 3
2. Identify and sketch the following set: 2
z 3
(Answer: The exterior and the border of disk centered at (-5, 0) of radius 4).
3. Find the values of the following:
(a) (i 1)1/ 2 (Answer: 4 2[cos3 / 8 i sin 3 / 8] , 4 2[cos11 / 8 i sin11 / 8] )
1/ 6
2i
(b) (Answer: 12 2 exp[(i (1 8k ) / 24], k 0,1, 2,3, 4,5 )
1 i

4. Find all the complex numbers z x iy , which satisfy the following equations:
(a) z8 1 (Answer: 1, i, ( 2 i 2) / 2, ( 2 i 2) )
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
(b) z 2 2iz i 0 (Answer: i 1 , i 1 )
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
i
5. Find the image of the disc z i 1 under the transformation w .
z
(Answer: The semiplane 1 2u 0 ).

i
6. Find the image of the disc z i 2 under the transformation w .
z
(Answer: The annulus w 1 2 ).
2z 3
7. Find the image of the circle z 2i 2 under the transformation w
z4
6 11i 11
(Answer: The circle w ).
8 8

8. Prove that
iz z3
(a) lim does not exist (b) lim does not exist.
z 0 z z 0 z 3
9. Verify that the following function is analytic:
f ( x, y) e y [( x y)cos x ( x y)sin x] ie y [( x y)cos x ( x y)sin x]
Find f ( z) and f ( z) .

10. Find where the following functions are analytic:


zi
(a) w (Answer: Nowhere analytic)
z i
z2
(b) w (Answer: Nowhere analytic)
zz
x y
(c) f ( z ) x 2 2
i y 2 (Answer: The entire complex plane except z 0 )
x y x y2

NOTICE:
If f ( z) u( x, y) iv( x, y) then the function f can be viewed as a function of two variables z and z by
zz zz zz zz
writing u ( x, y) iv( x, y) u , iv , . It can be easily shown that
2 2i 2 2i
f 1
(u x v y ) i (u y vx )
z 2
f
Hence CR-equations hold if and only if 0 i.e., f ( z) does not depend explicitly on z . Notice that
z
this condition is only a necessary condition for a function to be analytic at the point z .
SOLUTION:
w z i
(a) and
z z i
2
w z i
0 0 z i
z z i
2

However z i is not in the domain of the function, hence the CR- equation do not hold anywhere,
therefore the function is nowhere analytic.
(b) Similar as in (a).

Notice that the above solutions for (a), (b), (c) are a bit different from what I did in class. If you want to use
the method I used in class just find u and v for each function, and verify CR-equations.

11. Verify that the function u( x, y) x3 3xy 2 2xy is harmonic. Find one of its complex
harmonic conjugate v( x, y) and then express the associated complex function
f ( z) u( x, y) iv( x, y) as a function of the complex variable z . Is the function f ( z) entire?
Explain.
(Answer: v( x, y) 3x2 y x2 y3 y 2 ; f ( z) z3 iz 2 ).
I used a different idea in class to find f(z). It is simpler than the above method.

12. Solve the following equations:


(a) e z 2i (Answer: ln 2 i( / 2 2k ), k )
(b) e z (1 i) / 2 (Answer: z ( / 4 2k )i, k )
(b) Log ( z 2 1) i / 2 (Answer: 4 2 exp(i / 8) )
13. Find the domain of the complex plane on which the functions are analytic:
Log z 5
(a) f z 2 (Answer: z \{z | z x, x 5} {1} {2} )
z 3z 2
z 1
(b) f z Log (Answer: z \{z | z x, x [0,1]} )
z
(c) f z Log Log z (Answer: z \{z | z x, x [0,1]} )

Also Log ( z 5) Log( x 5 iy) is analytic if x 5 0 and y 0 . Hence the function is analytic on

z \{z | z x, x 5} {1} {2} .


(b) The function is not analytic if

Hence y 0, x 0,1 and therefore the function is analytic on z \{z | z x, x [0,1]}

(c) Notice that the function is not defined for z 0 and for z 1 so it is not analytic at these
points. The function is not analytic if
Re(Log ( z)) 0 and Im(Log ( z)) 0
ln | z | 0 and Arg ( z) 0 | z | 1, z z x (0,1] .
We conclude that the function is analytic on the domain \{z | z x, x [0,1]} .

14. Evaluate: log(1 i),sinh(1 i), tanh(1 i),sin( 3 i),sin 1 i,cosh 1(i) .
