SUMMARY

The integral of the function dz/(2+z*) over the closed curve C, where C is defined by z=1, can be evaluated using Cauchy's integral formula. The key to solving this integral lies in expressing z* in terms of z, particularly when z is on the unit circle. By utilizing polar coordinates, one can derive an analytic expression for z* that is valid within this context, facilitating the evaluation of the integral.

Homework Statement


evaluate :

integral of closed curve dz/(2+z*) (sorry for the lack of syntax
where C is given by z=1


Homework Equations



Cauchy's integral formula

The Attempt at a Solution


I believe I have to change the denominator in terms of z rather than z*, but I do not know how. Any help?

z* is not an analytic function of z, however if z is on the unit circle, then you can find a suitable analytic expression for z* in terms of z (which is then only valid on the unit circle).

Hint: consider the expressions of z and z* in polar coordinates.
