Exercise · ZW-CAUCHY-GOURSAT-THEOREM-004 · ★☆☆ Basic

In which case can the Cauchy-Goursat theorem NOT be applied directly?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • B. \(\oint_{|z|=1}\frac{dz}{z}\)

Explanation

In \(1/z\) there is a non-holomorphic point (\(z=0\)) inside the curve. In the other cases the integrand is holomorphic on the region the curve encloses.

Review the concept: Cauchy-Goursat theorem

The Cauchy-Goursat theorem says that, if \(f\) is holomorphic on a simply connected open set \(D\), its integral over any closed contour \(C\) contained in \(D\) is zero.

\[\oint_C f(z)\,dz=0\]
