Zeros of the equation $e^z-z$ in the complex plane

120 Views Asked by At

Does $e^z -z$ have any zeros?

By plotting the functions $e^z$ and $z$ in the real line, I have seen that this equation does not have any zeros in the real line. Can the same thing be said for the complex plane? Being an entire function, I know that it assumes every finite complex number except atmost one. But what about the zero? Please help.
