Solution
Let V be an open set and D be a closed disk contained in V . If f, g H(V ) satisfy |f(z) g(z)| < |f(z)| + |g(z)| on the boundary of D, then f and g have the same number of zeroes in the interior of D. The more classical Rouche’s theorem states the result for the stronger condition |f(z) g(z)| < |f(z)|
Let f(z) be the given polynomial. For |z| = 2, we have |f(z) z ^5 | = |z^3 + 3| |z^3| + 3 = 11 < 32 = |z^ 5 | . Therefore by Rouche’s theorem f(z) and z ^5 have the same number of zeros inside the disk |z| < 2. z^ 5 has five zeros (which are all 0, pun intended) in |z| < 2, so f has 5 zeros in |z| < 2. And for |z| = 1, |f(z) (z^3 + 3)| = |z ^5 | = 1 < 2 = ||z^3| | 3|| |z^3 (3)| = |z^3 + 3| . Therefore again by Rouche’s theorem f(z) and z^3 + 3 have the same number of zeros in |z| < 1. The only zero of z^3 + 3 is 3^(1/3) which is in the unit disk; thus f has a single zero in |z| < 1. Psychologically, the problem seems over here but there is a subtle point: We showed that f has four zeros in |z| < 2 and a single zero in |z| < 1. Hence, f has three zeros in 1 |z| < 2. To make the first inequality strict, we also need to show that f has no zeros on |z| = 1. Indeed, in this case |f(z)| = |z^3 + 3 (z ^5 )| ||z^3 + 3| | z ^5 || = ||z^3 + 3| 1| And just above we showed above that |z^3 + 3| > 2 on |z| = 1. Hence |f(z)| > 1 on |z| = 1. It might be worth noting that the functions we used to apply Rouche’s theorem to were all entire, i.e. in H(C), so we were able to use any disk we want.
