Exercise · ZW-CAUCHY-RIEMANN-EQUATIONS-003 · ★☆☆ Basic

For \(f(z)=e^z\), with \(u=e^x\cos y\) and \(v=e^x\sin y\), what is \(v_y\)?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • D. \(e^x\cos y\)

Explanation

Differentiating \(v=e^x\sin y\) with respect to \(y\) gives \(e^x\cos y\), equal to \(u_x\), as the Cauchy-Riemann equations require.

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.

\[u_x=v_y,\qquad u_y=-v_x\]
