Find $$\int_{|z|=3}\frac{2z^2-z+1}{(z-1)^2(z-2)}dz$$

I thought of using partial fractions so i ended up with

$$\int_{|z|=3}\frac{-5}{z-1}+\frac{-2}{(z-1)^2}+\frac{7}{z-2} dz$$

I did this because both singularities at 1 and 2 matter. After this i would apply the cauchy integral formula to get the solution. is that right?

Yes, that is right.

Another way of solving the problem consists in applying the residue theorem. In order to do so, you would have to compute the residue of $\frac{2z^2-z-1}{(z-1)^2(z-2)}$ at the points $1$ and $2$.
