Homework Statement
Suppose f(z) is an analytic function on domain D, and suppose that, for all z in D, we have 2*Re(f(z)) + 3*Im(f(z))=12. prove that f(z) must be a constant.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
ok, I am drawing somewhat of blank with this one but I am guessing it has something to do with the partial derivatives.
since f(x +yi) = u(x,y) + i*v(x,y)
i rewrite the equations as 2*u(x,y) * 3*v(x,y) = 12
since f(z) is analytics on D, i know that
u_x' = v_y' and u_y' = - v_x'
but if I differentiate both sides of 2*(u,x) * 3*v(x,y) = 12 with respect to y and x I get a slope of 0 in each case, i.e
2*u_x' + 3*v_x' = 0
and
2*u_y' + 3*v_y' = 0
the only solution for these two equations to hold is one where f(z) is constant.
Is this correct?
any help is appreciated.
