Complex Analysis · Analytic and Harmonic Functions · 1 mark · Multiple choice

Let $u=e^{2x}[\sin3x\cos2y\cosh3y-\cos3x\sin2y\sinh3y]$. Its harmonic conjugate v satisfies v(0,0)=2. For z=x+iy and f=u+iv, find 4+2if(iπ).

  1. e^(3π)+e^(−3π)
  2. e^(3π)−e^(−3π)
  3. −e^(3π)+e^(−3π)
  4. −e^(3π)−e^(−3π)

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (C) −e^(3π)+e^(−3π)

Explanation

The displayed u is Re(e^(2z)sin3z), so f=e^(2z)sin3z+2i. At z=iπ, e^(2iπ)=1 and sin(3iπ)=i sinh3π. Hence 4+2if(iπ)=4−2(sinh3π+2)=−2sinh3π=**−e^(3π)+e^(−3π), C**.
