Homework Statement



f is an entire function with pos. constants A and m such that |f(z)| ≤ A|z|[itex]^{m}[/itex] for all z: |z|≥R[itex]_{0}[/itex]

Show that f is polynomial of degree m or less

Homework Equations



Cauchy estimates need to be used here

|f[itex]^{n}[/itex](z[itex]_{0}[/itex])|≤[itex]\frac{n!}{r^{n}}[/itex]max[itex]_{z-z_{0}=r}[/itex]|f(z)| , n=0,1,2,3,...

The Attempt at a Solution


I was thinking that the right side of the inequality would just be a constant and could be treated as such.. meaning that taking the derivative of the left side would eventually result in a constant and then 0... but I'm not sure how to show that you have to take the derivative m+1 times...
