l a. u is harmonic for all values of (x, y).
3. c = - a.
Sa. v(x,y)=x^3 - 3xy^2 +c.
Sc. u(x,y) = -eYcosx +c.
7. By the chain rule, U,, (x, y) = u., (x, -y), Uy (x, y) = -uy (x, -y),
U.,,,(x,y) = u.,,,(x,-y), Uyy(x,y) = uyy(x,- y). Hence, U.,.,(x,y) +
U 11 y (x, y) = u""" (x, -y) + u 1111 (x, -y) = 0.
- The funct ion f = u +iv must be analytic, hence so is j^2 = u^2 - v^2 + i (2uv).
By T heorem 3.8, the result follows.
1 1. U8 = -rVr implies U99 = -rVr8· and U8r = -rVrr - Vr. Also, V9 = TUr
implies V9 9 = ru, 9 and V8r = rUrr +Ur· From this we get r^2 Urr + rur +
U88 = (rV8r -ru,) + (rur) + (-rvre) = O.

1s. T he equipotentials are concent ric circles with radii l, 2, 3, and 4. T he
streamlines are lines from the origin making an angle of ¥ radians for

- Let e > 0 be given. Since Jim Zn = z 0 , there exists N, such that if n > N,
n-->oo
then Zn E De (zo), i.e., lzn -zol < e-But since lzn -zol = lzn - zol, this
implies that if n > N,, then Zn ED, (zo).
s. This is a "telescoping sum" and we have for the nth part ial sum Sn =
- t + n~i (show t he details for this). Then J
Sn = J(- t + n~i) =

9. Since L:: Zn converges, lim Sn = S , where S is a complex number. But then
n=l n - oo
lim Sn-I = S, SO lim Zn= lim (Sn - Sn- d = Um Sn - Jim Sn- I = 0.
