f(x)=\frac{-2}{z-1}+\frac{3}{z+2}
our distance is from -2 till 1
we develop around 1
so our distances are 3 and zeo
so our areas are
0<|z-1|<3
0<|z-1|
3>|z-1|
but i was told to develop around

0<|z-1|<1
there is no such area
?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
0< |z- 1|< 1 is -1< z< 1 and also z\ne 0- two separate intervals.

The region 0<|z-1|<1 lies completely within 0<|z-1|<3, right? So if you find the Laurent series that converges in 0<|z-1|<3, it will obviously converge when 0<|z-1|<1.
 
thanks

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
