Example 3.5.  Show that  [Graphics:Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_98.gif]  is nowhere differentiable.

Explore Solution 3.5.

Enter the function f[z].

[Graphics:../Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_107.gif]


[Graphics:../Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_108.gif]

 

 

Find the real and imaginary parts of  f[z].

[Graphics:../Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_109.gif]



[Graphics:../Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_110.gif]

 

 

Determine if the Cauchy-Riemann equations hold.

[Graphics:../Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_111.gif]




[Graphics:../Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_112.gif]

Hence the Cauchy-Riemann do not hold at any point.

Thus, we have shown that  [Graphics:../Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_113.gif]  is not analytic for any value of  z.
