Exercise · ZW-CAUCHY-INTEGRAL-FORMULA-006 · ★★☆ Intermediate
Compute \(\displaystyle\oint_{|z|=1}\frac{e^z}{z-3}\,dz\) counterclockwise.
Choose one option.
Show answer
- A. \(0\)
Explanation
The point \(z_0=3\) lies outside \(|z|=1\), so \(e^z/(z-3)\) is holomorphic inside and the integral is zero by Cauchy-Goursat.
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 \(C\).
\[f(z_0)=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\oint_C\frac{f(z)}{z-z_0}\,dz\]
