Exercise · ZW-CAUCHY-RIEMANN-EQUATIONS-008 · ★★☆ Intermediate

Let \(u=e^x\cos y\). Which \(v\) satisfies Cauchy-Riemann together with \(u\)?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • B. \(e^x\sin y\)

Explanation

From \(v_y=u_x=e^x\cos y\) we get \(v=e^x\sin y+g(x)\); the other equation, \(v_x=-u_y=e^x\sin y\), gives \(g'=0\).

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.

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