Short Answer

Expert verified

The residue of the function at $z = \frac{π}{6}$ is $R (\frac{π}{6}) = - \frac{1}{2}$

Step by step solution

Determine the formula

Consider the formula for residue of a function at simple poles is given by:

$R [f (z)] = \underset{z \to z_{0}}{l i m} (z - z_{0}) f (z)$

Determine the residue of the simple pole

Consider the given function:

$f (z) = \frac{\cos z}{1 - 2 \sin z}$

Rewrite the function as:

$\begin{array}{rcl} f (z) & = & \frac{p (z)}{q (z)} \\ = & \frac{\cos z}{1 - 2 \sin z} \end{array}$ ……. (1)

At $z = \frac{π}{6}$

The function has simple pole at $z = \frac{π}{6}$ and the residue of simple pole is given by:

$\begin{array}{rcl} R (z_{0}) & = & \lim_{z \to z_{0}} (z - z_{0}) f (z) \\ = & \frac{q (z_{0})}{p' (z_{0})} \end{array}$ ……. (2)

Determine the residue of the function:

Apply equation (2) to the given equation (1) and solve:

$\begin{array}{rcl} R (\frac{π}{6}) & = & \frac{\cos (z_{0})}{- 2 \sin (z_{0})} \\ = & - \frac{1}{2} \end{array}$

Therefore, the residue of a function at $z = \frac{π}{6}$ is $R (\frac{π}{6}) = - \frac{1}{2}$
