Exercise · ZW-COMPLEX-PRIMITIVE-004 · ★☆☆ Basic
Compute \(\displaystyle\int_{i}^{2i}z\,dz\).
Choose one option.
Show answer
- A. \(-\dfrac32\)
Explanation
With \(F=z^2/2\): \(\frac{(2i)^2-i^2}{2}=\frac{-4+1}{2}=-\frac32\).
Review the concept: Complex primitive
A primitive of a function \(f\) on an open set \(D\) is a holomorphic function \(F\) on \(D\) whose derivative is \(f\) at every point.
\[\int_{z_0}^{z_1} f(z)\,dz=F(z_1)-F(z_0)\]
