13. Let C: z(t) = (x (t), y (t)), as ts b be any curve joining -2 and 2. Then
x (a)= - 2, and x (b) = 2. By the intermediate value theorem, there is some
t* E (a, b) such t hat x (t* ) = 0. But this means z (t*) = (0, y (t*)) is not in
the set in question. Explain why!
15 a. We prove the contrapositive. Suppose zo is accumulation point of S, but
that zo does not belong to S. By definition of an accumulat ion point, every
deleted neighborhood, D; (zo), contains at least one point of S. Therefore,
every (nondeleted) neighborhood De (zo) also contains at least one point of
Sand at least one point not in S (namely, zo). This condition implies that
zo, which does not belong to S, is a boundary point of S. (Show the details
for this last assertion.) Thus, the set S is not closed.

7e. Yes, because if f (zi) = f (z2) (where z1 = r 1 e'^61 and z2 = r2ei^6 2, and 91 and
92 are the a rguments of z1 and z2, respectively), then In r 1 +i91 =In r2 +i92.
Equating real and imaginary parts gives In r1 = In r2, so r1 = r 2 (because t he
function In is one-to-one). Also, i8 1 = i82, so r 1 ei^91 = r2e'^9 >, i.e., z 1 = z2.
9a. H E (z) = z~zo, then with rods at the points zo = 0, 1 - i, and 1 + i , each
carrying a charge of ~ coulombs per unit length, the total charge at z will be
-.~o + •-(~-i) + •-(~+i). Combining terms and solving (us ing the q uadratic
formula) for when the numerator equals zero (tedious, but good for you!)
reveals the total charge to be zero when z = j ± i ~. Be sure to show the
details of your calculations.
lla. Clearly, f is onto, because if w E B, then by definition of B there exists
a point z E A such that f (z) = w. Suppose that f (z1) = f (z2) for some
values z 1 and z2 in A. T hen, because A is a subset of D , z 1 and z2 both
