Exercise · ZW-CAUCHY-RIEMANN-EQUATIONS-005 · ★★☆ Intermediate

For \(f(z)=|z|^2\), with \(u=x^2+y^2\) and \(v=0\), at which points do the Cauchy-Riemann equations hold?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • C. Only at \(z=0\)

Explanation

The equations require \(2x=0\) and \(2y=0\), which happens only at the origin.

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.

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