This one has me a bit stumped...

Suppose f is an analytic function of z = z + iy given by

f(z) = (2x + 3y) + ig(x,y), where g is a real valued function of x and y. If g(2,3) = 1, then g(7,3) =

A) -14
B) -9
C) 0
D) 11
E) 18

use the Cauchy- Riemann equation and from the condition :g(2,3) = 1 find g

The one thing we skipped in my complex analysis class... Luckily the Cauchy Riemann equations are fairly easy to understand (at least in relation to this problem) and memorize. I also got a for the answer. Thank you for the direction Nameless.
