Homework Statement


I have shown that u(x,y) = e-xsin(y) is harmonic. That is uxx+ uyy = 0. How do I find a harmonic function v(x,y) such that u + iv is analytic on C.

The Attempt at a Solution


I tried to find v(x,y) in the same fashion as you find a scalar potential, given a gradient but that was no go.
Would I find the Cauchy-Riemann equations & go from there?

Never mind. Got it.
It was v(x,y) = e-xcos(y) + K
