Find [tex]\int_{C} 3(z-i)^2 dz[/tex] where C is the circle |z-i|=4 traversed once clockwise

well i know it is zero but i just want to prove it.. kind of

so we can parametrize [tex]z(t) = i + 4e^{it}, \ 0\leq t \leq 2 \pi[/tex]

so
[tex]\int_{C} 3(z-i)^2 dz = \int_{0}^{2\pi} 3(i + 4e^{it}-i)^2 (4ie^{it}) dt[/tex]

is the setup good?

Also
Compute [itex]\int_{\Gamma} \overline{z} dz [/tex] where Gamma is the circle |z|=2 tranversed once counterclockwise[/itex][itex] <br /> [tex]z(t) = 2e^{it}[/tex]<br /> [tex]\int_{0}^{2\pi} (-2e^{it}) (2i e^{it}) dt[/tex]<br /> <br /> is this correct??<br /> Thank you for the help![/itex]

This parameterization is going clockwise, not counterclockwise. Otherwise it looks fine.

[itex] <br /> Check what [tex]\overline{2e^{it}}[/tex] is again.[/itex]
