Week 9 Tutorial
Questions with “(B)”: are a minimum set of questions to work on. You are encouraged to
attempt (at least) some of them before the tutorial.
Questions with “(A)”: if you find a section particularly difficult, try solving these questions, as
they will help review foundation contents.
Questions with “(C)”: if you find a section particularly easy, try solving these questions, as
they will help master the material.
5. (C) Given
nz 3
Fn (z) = + , n = 1, 2, . . .
n+1 n
Prove that the sequence {Fn (z)}∞
1 converges uniformly to F (z) = z on every closed disk
|z| ≤ R.
7. (B) Use the Cauchy product to find the Maclaurin expansion (Taylor expansion about z0 = 0)
of the following.

(a) f (z) = ez cos z
(b) f (z) = tanh z
8. (C) PFind an explicit formula for the analytic function f (z) that has the Maclaurin expan-
sion ∞ 2 k
k=0 k z .
Hint: Start with the expression (1 − z)−1 = ∞ k
P
k=0 z , differentiate, multiply by z, differentiate
again, and finally multiply by z.

10. (B) Does there exist a power series j=0 aj z j that converges at z = 2 + 3i and diverges at
z = 3 − i?
(a) Using Maclaurin expansion for sin z, show that for all z

f (z) = 1 − + − + ···
3! 5! 7!
12. (C) Assume that f (z) is analytic at the origin and that f (0) = f ′ (0) = 0. Prove that f (z)
can be written in the form f (z) = z 2 g(z), where g(z) is analytic at z = 0.
Hint: A power series sums to a function that is analytic at every point inside its circle of
convergence.
13. (C) Suppose that g is continuous on the circle C : |z| = 1, and that there exists a sequence
of polynomials that converges uniformly to g on C. Prove that
