Homework Statement


If f is analytic on the closed disc, show that for r<1 we have

f(re^{i\phi}) = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{0}^{2\pi}\frac{f(e^{i\theta})}{1-re^{i(\phi - \theta)}}d\theta


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I tried using cauchy integral formula and end up with

f(re^{i\phi}) = \frac{1}{2i\pi} \int_{0}^{2\pi}\frac{f(e^{i\theta})}{e^{i\theta} - re^{i(\phi)}}d\theta

i factor the denominator and get

f(re^{i\phi}) = \frac{1}{2i\pi} \int_{0}^{2\pi}\frac{f(e^{i\theta})}{e^{i\theta}(1-re^{i(\phi-\theta)})}d\theta

Don't really know where to go from here.

Of course! Thanks a bunch man!
 
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...
