Exercise · ZW-CAUCHY-RIEMANN-EQUATIONS-002 · ★☆☆ Basic
Which is the correct pair of Cauchy-Riemann equations?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- A. \(u_x=v_y\text{ and }u_y=-v_x\)
Explanation
The first equality is \(u_x=v_y\) and the second carries a minus sign: \(u_y=-v_x\). Check with \(f=z^2\): \(u_y=-2y=-v_x\).
Review the concept: Cauchy-Riemann equations
The two equalities between the partial derivatives of the real part \(u\) and the imaginary part \(v\) of a function \(f=u+iv\) that is differentiable at a point.
\[u_x=v_y,\qquad u_y=-v_x\]
