SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the contour integral of the polynomial function 5z^4 + z^3 + 2 over a square contour defined by the points [0,0], [1,0], [1,i], and [0,i]. The user expresses confusion regarding the identification of poles within the specified contour and the application of the residue theorem. It is established that the function does not possess any poles, simplifying the evaluation of the integral to zero, as there are no singularities enclosed by the contour.

Homework Statement


given 5z^4+z^3+2

Homework Equations



the question asking me to find the contour integral of thi function in the
C circle of |z|=1. then how about if the Contour is a square with point [0,0][1,0][1,i][0,i] ?

The Attempt at a Solution



i have no idea abt how to do and i attempt to factor up to
z^4[5+ (1/z) +(2/z^4)] and then juz 2∏i(coefficient of 1/z) am i wrong?
and i totally no idea of my pole for the square contour [0,0][1,0][1,i][0,i], anyone pls help me !

Your function doesn't have any poles. Does it?
