What Function Satisfies the Derivative Equation in Complex Analysis?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding a function that satisfies the derivative equation in complex analysis, specifically ##f:C \rightarrow C## where ##\frac{df}{dx} = 6x + 6iy##. The proposed solution is ##f(x,y) = 3x^2 + 6xyi + C(y)##, leading to the equation ##\Delta u = 0##, which simplifies to ##C''(y) = -6##. The correct function for ##C(y)## is derived from solving this second-order differential equation, confirming the necessity of understanding complex derivatives and Laplacian equations in this context.

Homework Statement
Find a function that solves the complex problem ## f:C \rightarrow C## that solves ##\frac{df}{dx} = 6x + 6iy##
Relevant Equations
##\Delta u = Re(f) = \frac{df^2}{dx^2} + \frac{df^2}{dy^2}##
Mentor note: Edited to fix LaTeX problems
##f:C \rightarrow C## that solves ##\frac{df}{dx} = 6x + 6iy##

## f(x,y) = 3x^2 + 6xyi + C(y) = (3x^2 + C(y)) + i(6xy) ##

## \Delta u = 0 \rightarrow 6 + C''(y) = 0 \rightarrow C(y) =5 \frac{5}{5}##

Note: I fixed all of your LaTeX script.

Your solution for f(x, y) looks fine to me, but I get something different for C(y).

If ##f(x, y) = 3x^2 + 6xyi + C(y)##, then
##f_x = 6x + 6yi## and ##f_y = 6xi + C'(y)##

##\Delta u = 0 \Rightarrow 6 + C''(y) = 0 \Rightarrow C''(y) = -6##
Solve the last equation above to find C(y).
