(b) f ′ (0) does not exist.
5. Show that the function f (z) = | Re(z) Im(z)|1/2 satisfies the Cauchy-Riemann equations
at z = 0, but f ′ (0) does not exist.
6. Show that following functions are harmonic and find their harmonic conjugates:

(b) u(x, y) = e−x (x sin y − y cos y).
(c) u(x, y) = x3 − 3xy 2 .
(d) u(r, θ) = r2 sin 2θ.
7. Using Cauchy-Riemann equations, show that f (z) = (1 + 2i)x2 y 2 is nowhere analytic.
8. Let

0 if z = 0.
Show that f (z) is continuous everywhere, but nowhere analytic on C.
9. Let f (z) = u + iv be analytic in a domain D. Prove that f is constant in D if any one of
the followings hold:
(a) f ′ (z) vanishes in D.
(b) Re f (z) = u = constant.
(c) Im f (z) = v = constant.
(d) |f (z)| = constant (non zero).
10. Show that there exist no analytic function f such that Re f (z) = y 2 − 2x.
11. Show that the function f (z) = (z̄ + 1)3 − 3z̄ is nowhere analytic.
12. If f (z) is analytic and Re(f (z)) = x2 − y 2 then find f (z). Also, If f (0) = 0, then find
f (3 + 2i).
