Statement

Complex-differentiable at a point

Suppose U⊂C is an open subset and f,g:U→C are functions. Suppose z0∈U is a point such that f,g are both complex-differentiable at z0. Define fg:U→C as:

fg:=z↦f(z)g(z)

Then fg is complex-differentiable at z0 and:

(fg)′(z0)=f′(z0)g(z0)+f(z0)g′(z0)

For holomorphic functions

Suppose U⊂C is an open subset and f,g:U→C are holomorphic functions. Then the function fg:U→C given by:

fg:=z↦f(z)g(z)

is also a holomorphic function, and for any z∈U, we have:

(fg)′(z)=f′(z)g(z)+f(z)g′(z)
