Exercise · ZW-COMPLEX-FUNCTION-003 · ★☆☆ Basic

For \(f(z)=z^2\) with \(z=x+iy\), what is the imaginary part \(v(x,y)\)?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • D. \(2xy\)

Explanation

The imaginary term of \(x^2-y^2+2xy\,i\) is \(2xy\) (the coefficient of \(i\), without the \(i\)).

Review the concept: Complex function

A rule \(f\) assigning to each \(z=x+iy\) of a set \(D\subseteq\mathbb{C}\) a unique complex number \(w=u+iv\); \(u\) and \(v\) are its real and imaginary parts.

\[f(x+iy)=u(x,y)+i\,v(x,y)\]
