Prove the Cauchy-Riemann equations for a differentiable complex function f(z)=u+iv, showing u_x = v_y and u_y = -v_x by comparing real and imaginary derivatives along real and imaginary directions.
Demonstrates that if f(z) = u + i v is analytic and u v is a constant, then f(z) must be constant.
Check analyticity of f(z) by expressing f(z) as i(x^2+y^2) with u=0 and v=x^2+y^2, then show u_x=0, v_y=2y, u_y=0, v_x=2x; the equations fail, so f is not analytic.
Show f(z) = (real part of z^2) - i (imaginary part of z^2) is not analytic, since u = x^2 - y^2 and v = -2xy, and partials fail the relations.
Demonstrate that sin z is analytic by representing it as u + i v, where u = sin x cosh y and v = cos x sinh y, applying Cauchy–Riemann.
Show that an analytic function with constant argument has constant f(z) by proving v/u is constant and, via the Cauchy-Riemann equations, u and v are constant.
