1. ## complex analysis

let z = x + iy and let

f(z) = $2x(y+1) + i(x^2+2y-y^2)$

find f(z) in terms of z and $\bar z$

i only need a start-up

anybody help?

If $z=x+iy$, $\bar z=x-iy$

Note that $z+\bar z=2x$ and $z-\bar z=2iy$

Hence we have :

$\boxed{x=\frac{z+\bar z}{2}} \quad \quad \boxed{y=\frac{z-\bar z}{2i}}$

It may be all you need here

Edit : notice that if you still have $\bar z$ in the expression of f(z), then the function is not holomorphic =)

Yep, easy in the end, my mind not working, maybe exam stress
