Class Test 2 Version A2

You have 25 minutes for this test. Write your answers, together with your name
and student number, on blank sheets of paper. Attempt to answer all questions.

1. Compute the contour integral

Z
z + (z)2 dz,

where is the straight line segment from 2 to 1 i.

2. Using Cauchys integral formula, find

cos z
Z
dz ,
z 1
2

where is the circumference of the circle centre 0 and radius 2, traversed in the
anti-clockwise direction.

3. State Cauchys generalised integral formula.

4. Suppose that f is holomorphic in a domain , and that B(w, r) . Using

the result of the previous question, or otherwise, show that
Z

f w + rei d.


f (w) =

In no more than four lines, explain what additional information we may deduce
about f .
