Homework Statement
Evaluate the following integral,
[tex]I = \int_{0}^{2\pi} \frac{d \theta}{(1-2acos \theta + a^2)^2}, \ 0 < a < 1 [/tex]
For such, transform the integral above into a complex integral of the form ∫Rₐ(z)dz, where Rₐ(z) is a rational function of z. This will be obtained through the substitution z = e^iθ. Therefore, solve the complex integral through Cauchy's Integral Formula for the first derivative of an analytic function.
Homework Equations
Cauchy's Integral Formula
[tex] f^{(n)} (z_0) = \frac{n!}{2 \pi i} \oint_{\gamma} \frac{f(z)}{(z - z_0)^{(n+1)}}dz [/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
Writting dθ in terms of dz
[tex]z = e^{i \theta} [/tex]
[tex]dz = ie^{i \theta} d\theta [/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{iz}dz = d\theta [/tex]
Writting
[tex] \frac{1}{(1-2acos \theta + a^2)^2} [/tex]
in terms of z, known that
[tex]\frac{1}{2}\left( z + \frac{1}{z}\right) = cos \theta [/tex]
Therefore
[tex] \frac{1}{(1-a\left( z + \frac{1}{z}\right) + a^2)^2} [/tex]
Thus
[tex]I = \oint_{\gamma} \frac{dz}{iz(1-a\left( z + \frac{1}{z}\right) + a^2)^2} [/tex]
Where do I go from here? Any clues on how to express the denominator in terms of (z-z0)² ?
