• EXAMPLE 6. 21 Show that fct(o) ";~{ dz = i27re.
Solution Recall tha t ct (0) is the circle centered at 0 with radius 1 and having
positive orientation. We have f (z) = exp z and f ( 1) = e. The point zo = 1 lies
interior to the circle, so Cauchy's integral formula implies that
e =/(1) = -^1 1 expz

Solution Here we have f(z) = sinz. We manipulate the integral and use
Cauchy's integral formula to obtain

Solutio n We see that 2z^2 - 5z + 2 = (2z - 1) (z - 2) = 2 (z - ~) (z -2). The
only zero of this expression that lies in the interior of C1 (0) is zo = ~. We set
