What is |exp (z^n)| less than if |z| < 1? I'm thinking it's e but I'm having a brain freeze at the moment! Thanks for any help guys.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
put z=a+ib then expand $$(a+ib)^n$$ using the binomial expansion ...

Welcome to MHB, buckylomax! :)

That sounds fine to me.

$$|\exp(z^n)| = \exp(\Re(z^n)) \le \exp(|z^n|) = \exp(|z|^n) < \exp(1^n) = e$$

That's what I was thinking but I just couldn't articulate it to the end. I think I broke my brain because I've been studying complex analysis for the past 8 hours (Puke)

Thanks a lot for the help.

I posted this question on math-stackexchange but apparently I asked something stupid and I was downvoted. I still don't have an answer to my question so I hope someone in here can help me or at least explain me why I am asking something stupid. I started studying Complex Analysis and came upon the following theorem which is a direct consequence of the Cauchy-Goursat theorem: Let ##f:D\to\mathbb{C}## be an anlytic function over a simply connected region ##D##. If ##a## and ##z## are part of...
