We use the theorem of residues T6.
The singular points are 0, 3i and −3i, but only 0, 3i
are inside the circular path γ of center i and radius 3.

It is not a pole. So, we have to use the Laurent series of g.
By looking for a representation of z 2 +1 of the form
z 2 +1 = α(z+i)2 +β(z+i)+γ
we get
z 2 +1 = (z+i)2 −2i(z+i).

Res−i g is the coefficient of z+i

where z1 = (2 2 − 3)i and z2 = (−2 2 − 3)i,
