1. Let z ∈ C such that |z| < 1. What is limn→∞ z n ? If |z| > 1, does limn→∞ z n exists?
Give an argument for both the cases.

2. For |z| =
̸ 1, show that the following limit exists: f (z) = limn→∞ z n +1 . Is it possible to
define f (z) for |z| = 1 in such a way to make it continuous?
3. Let z = reiθ , w = Reiϕ , 0 ≤ r < R. For a fixed w find : limr→R Re( w+z

10. Show that the following functions are nowhere differentiable: (a) f (z) = xy + iy

11. Let f (x, y) = u(x, y) +iv(x, y), where (a) u(x, y) = |xy| and v(x, y) = 0, (b) u(x, y) =

. Show that the Cauchy-Riemann equations are satisfied at
z = 0, but the function f is not differentiable at that point.
12. (Real and Complex differentiability are different) Verify the Cauchy-Riemann
equations for the function z → z 2 and conclude that it is differentiable everywhere in
C. Now for the function z → |z|2 show that it is only differentiable at 0. Compare this
to the differentiablity of the function x → x2 = |x|2 in R and observe the different
conclusions.
