Homework Statement



z→x3+ i(1 - y)3: Show where the functions is analytic and differentiable.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


For a function to be analytic cauchy-riemann equations must hold.. so
ux = vy and uy = -vx

Now f(z) = x3 + i(1 - y)3 is already in the form u(x,y) + iv(x,y) with u(x,y) = x3 and v(x,y) = (1 - y)3 So:

ux = 3x2 ; vy = -3(1 - y)2 and
uy = 0 ; -vx = 0

Does this then mean cauchy-riemann does not hold anywhere but 0 so f is not differentiable on a neighbourhood of any point in C which means it is nowhere analytic.

From what you wrote down it doesn't look like the Cauchy Riemann equations hold at x=y=0
 
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...
