Cauchy integration with factorials

124 Views Asked by At

I have a question;

Let $\gamma$ be the circular contour, positively oriented, with centre $0$ and radius $8$. Compute the following integral
$$\int \frac{5!\cos(z)}{(z-2\pi )^6}$$

I used the formula $$f^n(a)= \frac{n!}{2\pi i}\int \frac{f(z)}{(z-a)^{n+1}}$$

So I wrote $$f^n(a)=\frac{5!}{2\pi i} \int \frac{\cos z}{(z-2\pi)^6}$$

= $$\frac{5!}{2 \pi i} . \frac{2 \pi i}{5!}.f^5(2 \pi)=1$$

I'm new to Cauchy integrals so I'm not sure if I did this right help would be really appreciated.

There's a problem concerning the notation: it's $f^{(n)}$, not $f^n$. Besides, when you write:$$f^{(n)}(a)=\frac{5!}{2\pi i}\int\frac{\cos z}{(z-2\pi)^6},$$

  • $\mathrm dz$ is missing;
  • $\gamma$ is missing;
  • you don't tell us what $a$ is.

But the idea is correct.
