over the positively oriented contour C = C1 ∪ C2 (see Figure - 1), where C1 is the line
2x + 2y + 1 = 0 and C2 is the portion of the circle |z| = 2 which lies below the line
2x + 2y + 1 = 0. Here log z is a branch defined as log z = ln r + iθ, r > 0, π2 < θ < 5π

6. Let f be an entire function satisfying |f (z)| ≤ |z| and f ′ (0) = 1. Then, without using
Cauchy’s residue theorem, evaluate

7. Let f (z) be an entire function and suppose that there is constant M, and R > 0, and an
integer n ≥ 1 such that |f (z)| ≤ M |z|n for |z| > R. Show that f is a polynomial of degree
at most n.
8. Let f (z) be an entire function. Show that
(a) If [Re f (z)]2 ≤ [Im f (z)]2 , then f (z) is constant.
(b) If f does not take any value in the disk |z − a| ≤ r for some a ∈ C and r > 0, then
f (z) is constant.
9. Let f (z) = u + iv be an entire function such that au + bv ≥ ln(ab), a > 1, b > 1. Then
evaluate the integral Z
