Let f be an entire function that satisfies |f(z)| ≤ e^y for all z = x + iy ∈ ℂ, where x, y ∈ ℝ. Which of the following statements is true?

Explanation:

f be an entire function that satisfies |f(z)| ≤ ey for all z = x + iy ∈ ℂ

(1): f(z) = ce−iz 

So |f(z)| = |ce−iz| = |ce^{-i(x + iy)}| = |ce-ix ey| ≤ |c|ey ≤ ey for some c ∈ ℂ with |c| ≤ 1 (as |e-ix| ≤ 1 for all x ∈ \(\mathbb R\))

Option (1) is correct

(2): f(z) = ceiz 

So |f(z)| = |ceiz| = |cei(x + iy)| = |ceix e-y| ≤ e-y for some c ∈ ℂ with |c| ≤ 1 (as |e-ix| ≤ 1 for all x ∈ \(\mathbb R\))

Option (2) is false

(3): f(z) = e−ciz 

So |f(z)| = |e−ciz | = |e-ci(x + iy)| = |e-cix ecy| ≤ ecy ≤ ey for c = 1 only (as |e-ix| ≤ 1 for all x ∈ \(\mathbb R\))

Option (3) is false

(4): f(z) = eciz 

So |f(z)| = |eciz | = |eci(x + iy)| = |ecix e-cy| ≤ e-cy ≤ ey for c = - 1 only (as |e-ix| ≤ 1 for all x ∈ \(\mathbb R\))

Option (4) is false
