Corollary 7.8.  Let f(z) and g(z) be analytic with  zeros of orders  m  and  n,  respectively at  [Graphics:Images/SingularityZeroPoleMod._gr_339.gif].  Then their quotient [Graphics:Images/SingularityZeroPoleMod._gr_340.gif]  has the following behavior:

(i)  If  [Graphics:Images/SingularityZeroPoleMod._gr_341.gif],  then h(z) has a removable singularity at  [Graphics:Images/SingularityZeroPoleMod._gr_342.gif].   If we define  [Graphics:Images/SingularityZeroPoleMod._gr_343.gif],  then h(z) has a zero of order  [Graphics:Images/SingularityZeroPoleMod._gr_344.gif].

(ii)  If  [Graphics:Images/SingularityZeroPoleMod._gr_345.gif],  then h(z) has a pole of order  [Graphics:Images/SingularityZeroPoleMod._gr_346.gif].

(iii)  If  [Graphics:Images/SingularityZeroPoleMod._gr_347.gif],  then h(z) has a removable singularity  at  [Graphics:Images/SingularityZeroPoleMod._gr_348.gif],  and can be defined so that h(z) is analytic at  [Graphics:Images/SingularityZeroPoleMod._gr_349.gif],  by  [Graphics:Images/SingularityZeroPoleMod._gr_350.gif].  

Proof.

Proof of Corollary 7.8 is an exercise in the book.
