Exercise · ZW-CAUCHY-RIEMANN-EQUATIONS-006 · ★★☆ Intermediate

If \(f=u+iv\) is differentiable at \(z\), then \(f'(z)=u_x+iv_x\). Compute \(f'(1+i)\) for \(f(z)=z^2\).

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • A. \(2+2i\)

Explanation

With \(u_x=2x\) and \(v_x=2y\), at \((1,1)\) we get \(2+2i\). It equals \(2z\) evaluated at \(1+i\).

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.

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