The Cauchy derivative formula says that if is holomorphic on a neighbourhood of a closed disk and is inside its positively oriented boundary circle , then for ,For this is the Cauchy integral formula. The same formula holds for a positively oriented simple closed contour when is holomorphic on a neighbourhood of the contour and its enclosed region.
In the present problem the unit circle and its closed interior lie inside . Parametrize it by , , so . For a positive integer ,The first contour integral is zero by the Cauchy integral theorem, since is holomorphic on the disk; the second is evaluated by the Cauchy derivative formula. ThereforeTaking gives the requested .
