Question

Let C represent the unit circle centered at origin in the complex plane, and complex variable, z = x + iy. The value of the contour integral  C cosh 3 z 2 z d z (where integration is taken counter clockwise) is

Options :

  1. 2πi

  2. πi

  3. 0

  4. 2

Show Answer

Answer :

πi

Solution :

C cosh 3 z 2 z d z where C represents unit circle i.e. radius is unity.

The above equation can be written in standard form i.e.  C cosh 3 z 2 z 0 d z

Therefore  f ( z ) = cosh 3 z 2 and a = 0.

The pole of the given function is at z = 0, and lie inside the circle.

f ( z ) = cosh 3 z 2 = e 3 z + e 3 z 2 × 2 = e 3 z + e 3 z 4

At z = 0,

f ( 0 ) = e 0 + e 0 4 = 2 4 = 1 2

Cauchy's Integral Formula :

c f ( z ) z a d z = 2 π i . f ( a )

C cosh 3 z 2 z 0 d z = 2 π i × f ( 0 )

C cosh 3 z 2 z 0 d z = 2 π i × 1 2 = π i
