Past exam of the mathematics course of the University of Cambridge / 2025 / ib / Paper 1 / 12 / 12.2A / b / ii / Solution

Choose an entire $F$ with real part $u$. The bound implies that $e^F$ has at most polynomial growth, so Cauchy's estimates make it a polynomial. It has no zeros, hence that polynomial is constant. Therefore $F$, and in particular $u$, is constant.
