u= + u
x2 y 2
   
u u
= +
x x y y
v v
= . . . Applying CR equations
xy yx
=0

2
v= + v
x2 y 2
   
v v
= +
x x y y
u u
= + . . . Applying CR equations
xy yx
= 0 . . . according to Clairauts Theorem on equality of mixed partials

(b)
u u v v
LHS : +
x y x x
u v v u
= + = 0 = RHS
x x x x
note. that this can also be written as
 
u v u v
+
x x y y
   
u u v v
= i + j i + j = 0
x y x y
Therefore it can be concluded that for all analytic functions, the imaginary and real part intersect
each other perpendicularly.

Solution to 3

f (z) = <(z) = x
u(x, y) = x; v(x, y) = 0
u v
= 1; =0
x y
u v
since 6=
x y
f(z) is NOT ANALYTIC
