Question 1(d)

Complex Analysis – Analytic Function

1Question

Let \(f(z)=u(r,\theta)+iv(r,\theta)\) be an analytic function. If \(u=-r^3\sin3\theta\), then construct the corresponding analytic function \(f(z)\) in terms of \(z\).

2Diagram

Question 1(d): Analytic function from polar real part
2024 IFoS Maths Optional Paper II Solutions diagram for Question 1(d) showing polar form, z cubed, multiplication by i, and the analytic function whose real part is minus r cubed sin three theta.

3Concept Related to the Question

This question belongs to Complex Analysis – Analytic Function. The method is to identify the relevant theorem or formula first, substitute the given data, and simplify each step clearly.

4Detailed Solution

Since \(z=re^{i\theta}\), we have \(z^3=r^3e^{3i\theta}=r^3(\cos3\theta+i\sin3\theta)\). Multiplying by \(i\), \(iz^3=ir^3\cos3\theta-r^3\sin3\theta\). Thus the real part of \(iz^3\) is \(-r^3\sin3\theta\).

Therefore the required analytic function is \(iz^3\), up to an additive purely imaginary constant.

5Final Answer

\(f(z)=iz^3+iC\), where \(C\) is real.
