A holomorphic function is a function that is differentiable at every point on its domain. In order for it to be differentiable, it needs to satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equation properties, such that:
f(z) = u(x,y) + iv(x,y)
ux = vy
vx = -uy
If that is so, then f'(z) = ux + ivx
Otherwise, if a function doesn't satisfy these conditions, we say that it's not holomorphic. For instance:
f(z) = z̅
Test with the following properties:
ux = vy
vx = -uy
z̅ is written as u(x,y) - iv(x,y). Take the partial derivatives of u(x,y) and v(x,y). Then:
ux = -vy
vx = -(-uy) = uy
Since the conditions don't hold, that function is not holomorphic.

What is the parent function for the exponential function?
The parent function of the exponential function is ax
A function takes the exponential function's output and returns the exponential function's input?
A __________ function takes the exponential function's output and returns the exponential function's input.
Is the inverse of an exponential function the quadratic function?
No. The inverse of an exponential function is a logarithmic function.
What do you call the inverse function of the exponential function?
Logarithmic Function
What is function notation in math terms?
An equation where the left is the function of the right. f(x)=x+3 is function notation. The answer is a function of what x is. f(g(x))= the answer the inside function substituted in the outside function.
