Exercise · ZW-CAUCHY-RIEMANN-EQUATIONS-007 · ★★☆ Intermediate

Let \(u=x^2-y^2\). Which \(v\), with \(v(0,0)=0\), makes \(u\) and \(v\) satisfy Cauchy-Riemann?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • D. \(2xy\)

Explanation

From \(v_y=u_x=2x\) we get \(v=2xy+g(x)\), and from \(v_x=-u_y=2y\) we get \(g'=0\); with \(v(0,0)=0\), \(v=2xy\).

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.

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