II Corollary 7.12 If f is analytic in D; (a), then f can be defined to be analytic
at a iff lim f (z) exists and is finite. •

g(z)= ~,
when z f= 0, and
when z = 0,
is not continuous at z = O.
Solution In Exercise 20, Section 7.2, we asked you to show this relation by
computing limits along t he real and imaginary axes. Note, however, that the
