How to prove the following inequality: for complex z such that Re z < 0 :

[tex]\left| e^z-1\right| < \left| z\right|[/tex] ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
use the identities

[tex]\left|z\right|^{2}=z\bar{z}[/tex]

and

[tex]\bar{e^{z}}=e^{\bar{z}}[/tex]

since both sides of the inequality are positive
you can square it up
