Math Problem Statement

Describe cauchy's fundamental theorem for evaluating complex intregal and justify the theorem for the function :

f(z) = z^3 + i(z)^2 -5z + 2i if C is the circle |z| = 1 described in the positive sense

Solution

Cauchy's Integral Theorem (also known as Cauchy's Fundamental Theorem) is a cornerstone in complex analysis. It states that if f(z)f(z) is a holomorphic (analytic) function on and inside a simple closed curve CC, then the contour integral of f(z)f(z) around CC is zero:

Cf(z)dz=0\int_C f(z) \, dz = 0

Conditions for Cauchy's Theorem:

  1. f(z)f(z) must be holomorphic (analytic) inside and on the curve CC.
  2. CC is a positively oriented, simple closed contour (meaning it encloses a region, typically traversed counterclockwise).

Justification for the Function f(z)=z3+iz25z+2if(z) = z^3 + i z^2 - 5z + 2i:

Given the function f(z)=z3+iz25z+2if(z) = z^3 + iz^2 - 5z + 2i and the contour CC as the circle z=1|z| = 1, we need to verify whether f(z)f(z) satisfies the conditions of Cauchy's Theorem:

  1. Analyticity:
    f(z)f(z) is a polynomial in zz, which is holomorphic (analytic) everywhere in the complex plane. Specifically, it is analytic inside and on the contour CC (the circle z=1|z| = 1). There are no singularities inside or on CC.

  2. Closed Contour:
