Homework Statement


Hi!
I am stuck on an exercise in the complex analysis course. The problem is:
"Show that the only analytic functions f that depends on only |z| must be the constant functions."

The Attempt at a Solution


I am not sure if I undertand the question, is it f(z)=|z|, or maybe f(z)=g(|z|)?

It's the lattet. Note this is equivalent to saying that f is constant on each circle of radius r
 
Thanks a lot!
I'll try to solve this now, I'll be back if I get stuck. ;)
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
