Homework Statement



To find the integral by Cauchy Residue Theorem and apply substitution method.

Homework Equations



To show: ∫[itex]^{2∏}_{0}[/itex][itex]\frac{cosθ}{13+12cosθ}[/itex]=-[itex]\frac{4∏}{15}[/itex]

The Attempt at a Solution


The solution I have done is attached. It is different as what the question wants me to show. I do not know where I did it wrong.

Otherwise it looks fine to me, except that
[tex]6z^3+13z^2+6z = 6 z(z+2/3)(z+3/2) \neq z(z+2/3)(z+3/2)[/tex]
