Exercise · ZW-CAUCHY-GOURSAT-THEOREM-006 · ★★☆ Intermediate
Compute \(\displaystyle\oint_{|z|=1}\bar z\,dz\).
Choose one option.
Show answer
- B. \(2\pi i\)
Explanation
\(\bar z\) is not holomorphic, so the theorem does not apply. With \(z=e^{it}\): \(\bar z\,dz=e^{-it}\,ie^{it}dt=i\,dt\), and the integral is \(2\pi i\).
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.
\[\oint_C f(z)\,dz=0\]
