Solution 9.
See text and/or instructor's solution manual.
Answer. Appeal to Theorem 7.12 and mimic the argument given in the solution to Exercise 5.
Solution Method
I. Appeal to Theorem
7.12 and express f(z) in
the form
,
where the function h(z) is analytic
at the point
. Then
![[Graphics:../Images/SingularityZeroPoleModHome_gr_1179.gif]](../Images/SingularityZeroPoleModHome_gr_1179.gif)
where
, is
analytic at the point
,
and
.
Therefore,
has
a pole of order k+1 at
.
Solution Method
II. Since
has
a pole of order
,
at
we
can write
Differentiate the series termwise and obtain
Therefore,
has
a pole of order k+1 at
.
