The Cauchy integral formula states that if is holomorphic on a neighborhood of a positively oriented simple closed contour and its interior, then for inside,For the given counterclockwise circle, divide the rational function:The contour integral of is zero because it has a primitive, while both points lie inside the circle. Applying the Cauchy integral formula to the constant function at each point givesThe sign reverses if the contour orientation is reversed.
