Suppose f is an entire function and, for every z in the complex plane, |f'(z) - (2 + 3i)| ≥ 0.00007.
Suppose also that f(0) = 10 + 3i and f'(7+ 9i) = 1 + i. What is f(1 - 4i)?

What have you tried?

Where are you stuck?
 
Not really sure where to start, any help pointing me in the right direction would be great. I've done a somewhat similar problem where I proved that the function was constant, so that f equals the same value at all points, but that is not the case with this function.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
