A line integral equals zero implies a real integral also is zero
$begingroup$
I'm asked to check that the following line integral is zero:
$$int_{C(0,r)} frac {log(1+z)}z dz=0$$
(where $C(0,r)$ is the circle of radius $r$ centered at $0$) and then to conclude that for every $rin (0,1)$ the following integral is also $0$:
$$int_0^{pi}log(1+r^2+2rcos t)dt=0$$
I've managed to calculated the first integral expanding in Taylor series (we didn't do any residue yet in class) and I can imagine that it is connected in some way with the second, however I cannot find out exactly how.

Write $z=re^{itheta}$ and remember how log works.

Parametrizing the contour integral by setting $z = re^{it}$, $-pi le t le pi$, we write
$$0 =int_{C(0,r)} frac{log(1 + z)}{z}, dz = int_{-pi}^pi frac{log(1 + re^{it})}{re^{it}} ire^{it}, dt = i int_{-pi}^pi log(1 + re^{it}), dt$$
Taking imaginary parts, $0 = int_{-pi}^pi log|1 + re^{it}|, dt$, or
$$0 = frac{1}{2}int_{-pi}^pi log|1 + re^{it}|^2, dt$$ Expanding $|1 + re^{it}|^2$ and using symmetry, the result is obtained.

As long as $D(0,r)$ is a simply connected domain and the function $f(z)=1+zneq 0, forall z in D(0,r)$ then a holomorphic branch of $log f$ is defined well, and you proceed as the others said. We must be very careful with branches of logarithms and how we use them

As long as $D(0,r)$ is a simply connected domain and the function $f(z)=1+zneq 0, forall z in D(0,r)$ then a holomorphic branch of $log f$ is defined well, and you proceed as the others said. We must be very careful with branches of logarithms and how we use them
