Question
Consider the integralwhere is a counter-clockwise oriented circle defined as . The value of the integral is
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Answer checking is unavailable for this question. You can review the published solution without a score.
Correct answer
(MTA)
Solution
The integral is . The singularities of the integrand are at (pole of order 2), (simple pole), and (simple pole). The contour is the circle oriented counter-clockwise.Checking which singularities lie inside :
- For : (Inside)
- For : (Inside)
- For : (Outside)
1.Residue at :
Since is a pole of order 2:2.Residue at :
Since is a simple pole:Sum of residues:Value of the integral:Since the calculated value does not match any of the given options, the question was marked as MTA (Marks to All) in the official answer key.Continue learning with Success Tracker
