Questions
1. Given the function f (z) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y) where u(x, y) = ex cos(y) and v(x, y) =
ex sin(y), verify whether f (z) is analytic by checking the Cauchy-Riemann equations.
2. Suppose u(x, y) = x3 − 3xy 2 is the real part of an analytic function f (z). Find the
imaginary part v(x, y) such that f (z) = u + iv is analytic.
4. Use the function f (z) = z1 to map the unit circle |z| = 1 in the complex plane. Sketch
the image of this mapping and describe its geometric transformation.
5. Determine whether the function f (z) = sin(z) is analytic everywhere in the complex
plane. Justify your answer using the Cauchy-Riemann equations.
7. Prove that if u(x, y) is a harmonic function, then there exists a function v(x, y) such
that f (z) = u + iv satisfies the Cauchy-Riemann equations. Provide an example with
your proof.
8. Find the inverse function of f (z) = z 3 and determine its analyticity. Discuss any
branch cuts or singularities that arise in the inverse mapping.
9. Given that |f (z)| = ex where z = x + iy and f (z) is analytic, determine the possible
forms of f (z).
