Solution 11.

See text and/or instructor's solution manual.

Solution.   Use the polar form of the Cauchy-Riemann equations  [Graphics:../Images/HarmonicFunctionModHome_gr_744.gif]   and   [Graphics:../Images/HarmonicFunctionModHome_gr_745.gif]  and multiply both sides by r and obtain  

                    [Graphics:../Images/HarmonicFunctionModHome_gr_746.gif]   and   [Graphics:../Images/HarmonicFunctionModHome_gr_747.gif].   

Differentiate them first with respect to [Graphics:../Images/HarmonicFunctionModHome_gr_748.gif] and get  

                    [Graphics:../Images/HarmonicFunctionModHome_gr_749.gif]   and   [Graphics:../Images/HarmonicFunctionModHome_gr_750.gif].  

Then differentiate them with respect to r and get  

                    [Graphics:../Images/HarmonicFunctionModHome_gr_751.gif]   and   [Graphics:../Images/HarmonicFunctionModHome_gr_752.gif].

The last equation implies that  [Graphics:../Images/HarmonicFunctionModHome_gr_753.gif],  and then the result follows:  

                    [Graphics:../Images/HarmonicFunctionModHome_gr_754.gif]
