1. (40) Work out, in the form a+bi , the following expressions (if multivalued, give all (and only) the different
possibilities) :

(a) z1 = |ei(3+i) | = |ei3−1 | = |ei3 e−1 | = 2−3/8 (cos(3π/16 + 3kπ/2) + i sin(3π/16 + 3kπ/2)),k
|ei3 ||e−1 | = 1|e−1 | = e−1 0, 1, 2, 3
(b) z2 = 1i = (ei2kπ )i = e−2kπ , k ∈ Z (d) z4 = sin(i). First, sin(i) = e−1 −e1

(c) z3 = 1 3/4
( 1−i ) = (2−1/2 )3/4 e3i(π/16+3kπ/2) = So sin(i) = i e 2−e

2. (30) The following three pictures are labeled (i),(ii), and (iii). The real axis is drawn in bold. These are
illustrations of three of the six functions f (z) that are listed below. Match each of the pictures with its
corresponding function, and also tell whether the figure shows Re f (z), Im f (z), or |f (z)|:

(d) z 2 (e) log z (f) sin z

(i) (ii) (iii)

i We see that the function on the real axis behaves like ex , so the function must be iez . Are we showing
the real, imaginary or magnitude? When z = x, i.e.y = 0, iez = iex , which is purely imaginary. So we
must be showing the imaginary part.
ii We see periodicity with large magnitudes as |y| becomes large. It must be sin z. Since the range is
positive only, we must be looking at the magnitude.
iii There are two singularities (poles) on the imaginary axis, so it must be z21+1 . The function, along the
real axis (y = 0) is non-zero. Further, when z = x (thus when y = 0), x21+1 is purely real. So we must
be looking at the real part of the function.
3. (30) Which of the following functions satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations? For the ones that do, what is
the analytic function of z?

(a) f (x, y) = e−x (cos y − i sin y). C-R satisfied. f (x, y) = e−x (cos(−y) + i sin(−y)) = e−x e−iy =
e−x−iy = e−z
(b) f (x, y) = cos(x) cosh(y) − i sin(x) sinh(y). u(x, y) = cos(x) cosh(y) ,v(x, y) = − sin(x) sinh(y).
ux = − sin(x) cosh(y) and vy = − sin(x) cosh(y). Further, uy = cos(x) sinh(y) and vx = − cos(x) sinh(y).
(eix +e−ix )(ey +e−y ) (eix −e−ix )(ey −e−y )
The C-R equations are satisfied. cos(x) cosh(y)−i sin(x) sinh(y) = 4

(c) f (x, y) = x2 − y 2 − 2ixy. Let’s test the C-R equations. u(x, y) = x2 − y 2 , v(x, y) = −2xy. ux = 2x,
vy = −2x. The Cauchy-Riemann equations are not satisfied.
