Complex integration Definition and 75 Threads

I need to evaluate the following two complex integrals along a parabolic contour, and I am not sure I know how to deal with the ##\log\bar{z}## in both cases. Since for the log term, I do not know how to find ##i\arg\bar{z}##. Also, if I used either the line integral approach vs parameterize...

From plotting the given path I know that the path is a curve that extends from z = 1 to z=5 on the complex plane. My plan was to parametrize the distance from z = 1 to 5 as z = x, and create a closed contour that encloses z=0, where I could use Cauchy's Integral Formula, with f(z) being 1 / (z +...
