Hey guys. I have the following theorem:
I'm supposed to count the zeros of, for example, z^5+15z+1 on D(0;2) (the open disk about 0 of radius 2). But this gives me contradictory results.Quote:

But now observe that |z^5|=32>31=15|z|+1\geq|15z+1| on the same contourSo again by Rouche,

Putting these together, we seeand
have the same number of zeros on D(0;2). But we can see that

only has one zero.
Does anyone have a couple minutes to show me where I've gone wrong?
Thanks!
