1z n n nz . From this, 1 z

From what is given, 1z [12 z 3 z 2n z n1]= 1z 2 z 2 z 2 3 z 23 z 3 nz n 1nz n =

1z n . Multiplying through by 1 z gives 1z 1z z z 2 z 2z 3 z n1z n =1z n . The left-hand side of the equation is a telescoping series of which the only terms surviving are 1 and z n . Thus, the equality is apparent. =

1z n nz n . Adding nz n to both sides gives 1 z

3. Show from the definition that the functions x =Re z and y=Im z are not complex-differentiable at any point. Re z z Re z . Suppose that z =aib and examine the z z 0 Re aib1/nRe aib a1/ na =lim =1. Consider also the approach approach lim 1/n 1/ n n n Re aib1/ niRe aib aa lim =lim =0. Thus, this limit does not exist for any z. Thus, 1 /ni n n 1/ ni Re z is not complex differentiable for any z. From the definition, x '= lim The fact that Im z is not differentiable follows a similar argument. 4. Suppose that f z =az 2bz c 2 , where a,b, and c are fixed complex numbers. By z z z differentiating f(z) by hand, show that f(z) is differentiable at z if and only if bz 2 c =0. Where is f analytic? z z z Re z 2Im z 2 z z . From Q3, it is clear that the function is not First, = = = z z z z z zz differentiable. Now, by the rules of differentiation, f ' z =2 az b z ' 2 c ' =2 azb bz2 c ' . Now, since is not differentiable for any z, f is differentiable if and only z z z z z if bz 2 c =0. Let U ={z :bz 2 c =0} . We see that U ={xiy :b xiy2 c xiy=0} z b2 c = xiy: x= iy which is the interior of a line. Thus, U = and f is nowhere analytic. b2 c

Thus, f z f (on the domains given). Thus, g is analytic on D*. From this, f ' z = f ' . z z 6. Let ht be a continuous complex-valued function on the unit interval [0,1], and define 1 h t H z = dt , z [0,1]. 0 tz Show that H(z) is analytic and compute its derivative. h t ht tz z dt tz dt H z z H z 0 H ' z = lim = lim 0 z z z0 z 0 1 1 ht [tz t z z ] h t 1 = lim t z z t z dt= t z2 dt z0 z 0 0 We see that the derivative is defined for all z (perhaps remembering that even if z = t, the function is still Riemann integrable), so H is analytic.
