complex analysis - Laurent Series Coefficients Problem.



I am struggling with a question regarding Laurent's Theorem and the coefficients of a Laurent series. The question is attached above. I know the general formula for coefficients. I have set z=eiθ. I have plugged in also f(z) into the coefficient formula given by Laurent's Theorem. I however, cannot get the answer to be or look like the integral for the coefficients with the cosine etc, given in the question, which is what we are trying to prove or show. Do you have any pointers or suggestions? That would really help. Thank you.


Answer



The function ez+1z is holomorphic everywhere in 0<|z|< and, therefore, has a Laurent series expansions
ez+1z=n=anzn,0<|z|<.
The Laurent series coefficients an are given by
an=12πi|z|=1ez+1z1zn+1dz=12πππeeiθ+eiθei(n+1)θeiθdθ=12πππe2cosθeinθdθ=12π(0π+π0)e2cosθeinθdθ=12π(0πe2cos(θ)einθdθ+π0e2cosθeinθdθ)=12ππ0e2cosθ(einθ+einθ)dθ=1ππ0e2cosθcos(nθ)dθ.
