Homework Statement
This was an exam question I had today:
Give the location and order of each pole of
f(z)=e^z/[(z-1)^2(z+2)]
and evaluate the reside at these points
Homework Equations
Res(f(z)) = g(p-1)(a) / (p-1)!
The Attempt at a Solution
g(z) = e^z/(z+2)
g'(z) = -e^z/(z+2)^2
let a=1
g'(1) = -e^1/9
So res(f,1) = -e/9
Then I did
g(z) = e^z/(z-1)^2
(this is the part I think I might have stuffed up, because I did use the formula above but I had m=1 for f(z) which was 1/(z+2) so I thought it was right? anyways I got
g(-2) = e^(-2) / (-3)^2 = res(f,-2)=1/(9e^2)
It would mean a lot to me if someone could let me know because I am trying to work out if I should be depressed because I failed or if I can be happy because I passed :)
