Hey guys, i just started a complex analysis course this semester and we just went over CR-equations, and various ways to show that a function is holomorphic. I'm a bit stuck on this one homework question where we have to prove the function is entire.
so we have f(z)=(z^2-2)(e^-x)(e^-iy)
First I tried expanding the e^-iy out to cos(-y)+isin(-y) and tried to multiply it out to get a u and a v. That required a lot of tedious algebraic manipulation for one of the earlier problems in the pset for this prof so then I tried looking for a more elegant solution. I turned (e^-x)(e^-iy) into e^(-z), and tried to show that the partial derivative with respect too the conjugate of z = 0, but I'm still not to clear on that whole method. Was wondering if anyone can point me along the right direction/explain something maybe I don't understand.
Thanks
