1. Find the domain and the range of each of the following functions and also write each function
in the form w = u(x, y) + iv(x, y) :
(a) f(z) =
z+5
|z3|
for |z 3| = 10.
(b) f(z) = z + 7 for Re(z) > 0.
(c) f(z) = z
2
for z in the rst quadrant Re(z) 0, Im(z) 0.
(d) f(z) =
1
z
for 0 < |z| 1.
(e) f(z) = 2z
3
for z in the quarter-disc |z| < 1, 0 < Argz <
2
.
2. Let f : C/{1} C be dened by
f(z) =
z 1
z 1
, where C is the set of all complex numbers.
Examine whether lim
z1
f(z) exists.
3. If 1 = z
0
, z
1
, z
2
, . . . , z
n1
are distinct nth roots of unity, prove that
n1
j=1
(z z
j
) =
n1
j=0
z
j
.
4. Check if the following functions can be prescribed a value at z = 0, so that they become
continuous:
f(z) =
|z|
2
z
; f(z) =
z + 1
|z| 1
; f(z) =
z
z
.
5. Let f(z) = z
3
. For z
1
= 1 and z
2
= i, show that there do not exist any point c on the line
y = 1 x joining z
1
and z
2
such that
f(z
1
) f(z
2
)
z
1
z

= f
(c).
(Mean value theorem does not extend to complex derivatives).
6. Show that the function f(z) = z is not dierentiable at any point of C. Find the points of
dierentiability of the function f
a
(z) = (z a) Re(z a), for a given a C.
7. Show that f
(z) does not exist at any point z when (a) f(z) = Re z (b) f(z) = Im z.

8. Let u and v denote the real and imaginary components of the function f dened by
f(z) =
z
2
z
when z = 0,
0 if z = 0.
Show that the Cauchy-Riemann equations are satised at the origin z = (0, 0) but f
(0) does
not exist.
9. If f is analytic in a domain with f
