Exercise 9.  Use the results of  Exercise 8  with  [Graphics:Images/ContourIntegralModHome_gr_526.gif]  to evaluate  

9 (a).  [Graphics:Images/ContourIntegralModHome_gr_527.gif].

Solution 9 (a).

See text and/or instructor's solution manual.

Answer.  [Graphics:../Images/ContourIntegralModHome_gr_528.gif].

Solution.  Parametrize  [Graphics:../Images/ContourIntegralModHome_gr_529.gif]  with   [Graphics:../Images/ContourIntegralModHome_gr_530.gif]   for   [Graphics:../Images/ContourIntegralModHome_gr_531.gif].  

Then   [Graphics:../Images/ContourIntegralModHome_gr_532.gif],   and   [Graphics:../Images/ContourIntegralModHome_gr_533.gif]   and we obtain  

                    [Graphics:../Images/ContourIntegralModHome_gr_534.gif]  

                    [Graphics:../Images/ContourIntegralModHome_gr_535.gif]

                    The contour   [Graphics:../Images/ContourIntegralModHome_gr_536.gif]   for   [Graphics:../Images/ContourIntegralModHome_gr_537.gif].  

We are really done.  

Aside.  After we have developed the Cauchy-Goursat Theorem in Section 6.3,

we will introduce Corollary 6.1, [Graphics:../Images/ContourIntegralModHome_gr_538.gif].  

If you have proved this exercise you are ready for more advanced methods to compute contour integrals!
