MATH 417 COMPLEX ANALYSIS FINAL EXAMINATION

This exam has 10 problems each worth 20 points. You may use your class notes and the course text
book. However, you cannot use any other materials. The work must be yours and yours only.

Problem 1. Find ALL the solutions of the equation z 5 = 1 − i.

Problem 2. Determine ALL the values of (ieπ )i . Indicate the principal value.

Problem 3. Let u(x, y) and v(x, y) be a conjugate pair of smooth harmonic functions defined in a
domain D. Prove that u2 − v 2 is a harmonic function in D.

Problem 4. Let f (z) be an entire function. Suppose for any z 6= 0, f (z) satisfies the equation
 
1
f (z) = f .
z
Prove that f (z) must be constant.

Problem 5. Calculate the following contour integral

where C is the unit circle |z| = 1 positively oriented.

Problem 6. Calculate the integral √

Be sure to include the main details of your calculation.

Problem 7. Calculate the integral

Be sure to include the main details of your calculation.

Problem 8. Find the number of zeros, counting multiplicities, of the polynomial 2z 8 + 3z 5 − 9z 3 + 2 in


the annulus 1 ≤ |z| < 2.

Problem 9. Let Dr denote the closed disc |z| ≤ r. Let f (z) be an analytic function on D1 whose image
is contained in Dr for some r < 1. Prove that f (z) has a unique fixed point (i.e., a point z0 such that
f (z0 ) = z0 ). (Hint: Apply Rouché’s theorem to f (z) and −z.)

Problem 10. Find a linear fractional transformation f (z) that maps the points 1, 2 and i to the points
i, 1 and 2, respectively (i.e., f (1) = i, f (2) = 1, f (i) = 2).
