For \(u=x^2\) and \(v=y^2\), where do the Cauchy-Riemann equations hold?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- A. On the line \(y=x\)
Explanation
We need \(2x=2y\), and the second equation, \(u_y=0=-v_x\), always holds; so \(y=x\) suffices.
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.
\[u_x=v_y,\qquad u_y=-v_x\]
