Evaluating integral using residue

63 Views Asked by At

Show that $\int_{0}^{2 \pi} \frac{d \theta}{(5-3\sin(\theta))^2}= \frac{5 \pi}{32}$.

I don't quite know what zi sm doing wrong.

I simplified the expression as follows $$\int_{0}^{2 \pi} \frac{d \theta}{(5-3\sin(\theta))^2}= \frac{1}{i} \int_{0}^{2 \pi} \frac{4z}{(3iz^{2}+10z-3i)^2}$$

From here I found the zeros to be $\frac{-1}{3i}, \frac{-3}{i}$.

I then went on to say that $\frac{-1}{3i}$ is our only pole.

Then when I plug it into the residue formula I get $$\lim_{z \rightarrow \frac{-1}{3i}}\frac{d}{dz}\left[\left(z-\left(\frac{-1}{3i}\right)\right)^{2} \frac{4z}{(3iz^{2}+10z-3i)^2}\right]$$.

And from here I am stuck. I am not sure if I messed up in my calculations or used the wrong pole or what? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You are almost done.

Now factor the denominator of the last expression using: $$ (3i z^2+10z -3 i)=3i\left(z-\frac i3\right)(z-3 i) $$

Can you take it from here?

$$\begin{align}&\lim_{z \rightarrow \frac{i}{3}}\frac{d}{dz}\left[\left(z-\frac{i}{3}\right)^{2} \frac{4z}{(3iz^{2}+10z-3i)^2}\right]\\&=-\frac49\lim_{z \rightarrow \frac{i}{3}}\frac{d}{dz}\left[\frac{z}{(z-3i)^2}\right]\\&=-\frac49\lim_{z \rightarrow \frac{i}{3}}\left[\frac{-z-3i}{(z-3i)^3}\right]=\frac{5}{64}.\end{align}$$

A side note: the integral over $z$ is not from $0$ to $2\pi$. It is $\oint_{|z|=1}f(z)dz$.
