Homework Statement


Let g(z) be an analytic function. I have to show that g'(z) is also analytic, using only the CR eqns. I am given that the 2nd partials are continuous


Homework Equations


let f(x,y)=u(x,y)+iv(x,y)
CR: du/dx=dv/dy and du/dy=-dv/dx
continuous 2nd partials: d/dx(du/dy)=d/dy(du/dx) and d/dx(dv/dy)=d/dy(dv/dx)


The Attempt at a Solution


I am confused as to how to express the derivative df/dz. would f'=du/dx+du/dy+idv/dx+idv/dy?

I don't think you want df/dz. If a function satisfies the CR equations and has continuous partials, what can you say about it?
 
I have to solve this problem using only calculus. I can't use any theorems like using Taylor series. Maybe I can say that it is harmonic?
 
nvm- got it! f'(z)=du/dx+idv/dx. Taking these and the real and imaginary parts, we can get the CR eqns for f' using the CR eqns for f and the fact that the mixed partials are equal.
 
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...
