Exercise · ZW-CAUCHY-INTEGRAL-FORMULA-002 · ★☆☆ Basic

Compute \(\displaystyle\oint_{|z|=1}\frac{\cos z}{z}\,dz\) counterclockwise.

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • A. \(2\pi i\)

Explanation

Here \(z_0=0\) and \(f(z)=\cos z\), with \(f(0)=1\). The integral is \(2\pi i\cdot 1\).

Review the concept: Cauchy integral formula

The Cauchy integral formula gives the value of a holomorphic function \(f\) at a point \(z_0\) inside a simple closed contour \(C\) by means of an integral of \(f\) over \(C\).

\[f(z_0)=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\oint_C\frac{f(z)}{z-z_0}\,dz\]
