Question
Harmonic Functions $\quad$ Suppose $u(x, y)$ and $v(x, y)$ have continuous second-order partial derivatives, $u_{x}=v_{y}$ and $u_{y}=-v_{x} .$ Show that $u$ and $v$ are harmonic functions.

Let f = u + iv be holomorphic on Ω and let h(u, v) be a harmonic function of u and v on f(Ω). Prove that g(x, y) = h (u(x, y), v(x, y)) defines a harmonic function on Ω.
Let the functions $u(x, y)$ and $v(x, y)$ have continuous second partial derivatives and satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations $$ \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=\frac{\partial v}{\partial y} \quad \text { and } \quad \frac{\partial v}{\partial x}=-\frac{\partial u}{\partial y} $$ Show that $u$ and $v$ are both harmonic.
