Factor the denominator as . Since , its zeros are distinct, and the potential simple poles and their residues areFor example, the first follows by taking . If the numerator vanishes at either denominator zero, the singularity there is removable and the corresponding residue is zero. Thus the data identify the possible poles, not an unconditional pole at a point canceled by .
