Choose a small positively oriented circle about inside the given region. Cauchy's theorem on the region between the two contours givesContinuity makes the last integrand converge uniformly to as . Its limit is , proving the Cauchy integral formula.
The same formula holds with an interior point near . Subtract its value at and divide by :The contour is a positive distance from , so the integrands converge uniformly as . Passing to the limit gives the differentiated formulaOn the unit circle, and , proving the requested identity. Hence the requested integral isThe first integral is . For the second useThe differentiated formula applied to the constant function gives ; the remaining two terms integrate to . Therefore
