Problem 1. (6 points each) Evaluate each limit below. If the limit does not exist, supply a justification.
(a):
zโ^ lim 2 โi =^
z โ 2 + i z^3 โ 3 z^2 + z + 5
SOLUTION: We have
z โ 2 + i z^3 โ 3 z^2 + z + 5
z โ 2 + i (z + 1)(z โ (2 โ i))(z โ (2 + i))
(z + 1)(z โ (2 + i))
provided z 6 = 2 โ i. Therefore,
zโlim 2 โi =^
z โ 2 + i z^3 โ 3 z^2 + z + 5 =^ zโlim 2 โi
(z + 1)(z โ (2 + i)) =^
(3 โ i)(โ 2 i) =^
โ1 + 3i
In the last steps, we have applied the fact that rational functions are continuous wherever the denominator is nonzero, and hence, we can evaluate the last limit by plugging in z = 2 โ i to the final fraction.
(b):
zโ^ lim 3 โ 2 i x^2 y^ โ^2 xi^ + 3y.
SOLUTION: In this case, x โ 3 and y โ โ2, so
zโlim 3 โ 2 i x^2 y^ โ^2 xi^ + 3y^ = 3^2 ยท^ (โ2)^ โ^6 i^ โ^ 6 =^ โ^24 โ^6 i.
Problem 2. (8 points) Use an (, ฮด) argument to show that
zโโ^ lim1+5i(2z^ โ^ 3) =^ โ5 + 10i.
SOLUTION: Let > 0 be given. Note that |f (z) โ (โ5 + 10i)| = | 2 z โ 3 + 5 โ 10 i| = 2|z + 1 โ 5 i| = 2 |z โ (โ1 + 5i)|. To bound this by , we will choose ฮด = 2
Assume that 0 < |z โ (โ1 + 5i)| < ฮด = 2
. Then
|(2z โ 3) โ (โ5 + 10i)| = | 2 z + 2 โ 10 i| = 2|z โ (โ1 + 5i)| < 2 ฮด = ,
as required.
