hey, I know this might be abit silly, but u know the cauchy-reimann formula for a complex function to be diffrentiatable? here is a link to what I am talking about:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy-Riemann_equations
my question is: how do I write it in polar coordinates?:redface:

The answer to your question is on the page you linked to, pretty near the end, under "Other Representations."
 
yeah, I know that. my question is how to change the diffrentiates from respect to x to for example r and theta. I know they might be easy using the chain rules, but I always get so confused on this and thought maybe sb could help me write it
 
You do use the chain rule. Give it a shot and show us what you come up with.
 
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...
