I want to compute the value of the complex line integral $$\int_{\{|z|=4\}}\frac{z^2+2}{(z-3)^2}dz$$ I don't think I can apply Cauchy's integral theorem nor Cauchy's integral formula here. So far, I have tried parametrizing $\{|z|=4\}$ as $\gamma(\theta)=4e^{i\theta}$ and expanding the function I am integrating, however I don't think this is a good way to proceed. Can someone help me?

In fact, you can use Cauchy's integral formula for derivatives, with the holomorphic function $f:\mathbb{C}\to \mathbb{C}, f(z)=z^2+2$.
Then, for any $z_0\in \mathbb{C}$ with $|z_0|<4$, we get
$$\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{|z|=4}\frac{f(z)}{(z-z_0)^2}dz=f'(z_0)=2z_0.$$
Can you take it from here?
