(a) State the residue theorem and use it to deduce the principle of the argument, in a form that involves winding numbers.

(b) Let p(z)=z5+zp(z)=z^{5}+z. Find all zz such that ∣z∣=1|z|=1 and Im⁡(p(z))=0\operatorname{Im}(p(z))=0. Calculate Re⁡(p(z))\operatorname{Re}(p(z)) for each such zz. [It will be helpful to set z=eiθz=e^{i \theta}. You may use the addition formulae sin⁡α+sin⁡β=2sin⁡(α+β2)cos⁡(α−β2)\sin \alpha+\sin \beta=2 \sin \left(\frac{\alpha+\beta}{2}\right) \cos \left(\frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}\right) and cos⁡α+cos⁡β=2cos⁡(α+β2)cos⁡(α−β2)\cos \alpha+\cos \beta=2 \cos \left(\frac{\alpha+\beta}{2}\right) \cos \left(\frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}\right).]

(c) Let γ:[0,2π]→C\gamma:[0,2 \pi] \rightarrow \mathbb{C} be the closed path θ↦eiθ\theta \mapsto e^{i \theta}. Use your answer to (b) to give a rough sketch of the path p∘γp \circ \gamma, paying particular attention to where it crosses the real axis.

(d) Hence, or otherwise, determine for every real tt the number of zz (counted with multiplicity) such that ∣z∣<1|z|<1 and p(z)=tp(z)=t. (You need not give rigorous justifications for your calculations.)
