Complex trigonometric integral

In summary, the task is to calculate the complex integral along the closed path |z-2i|=2 for the function sin(z)/(z^2+π^2), using calculus of residues. The denominator has singularities at z=±iπ, which lie within the contour. Therefore, the integral can be calculated using the formula (2πi) x Res[f(z), iπ].

Homework Statement


Calculate the complex integral along the closed path indicated:
$$ \oint_C\frac{\sin{z}}{z^2+\pi^2}dz,\,\,|z-2i|=2.$$

Homework Equations


$$ \sin{z}=\frac{e^{iz}-e^{-iz}}{2i} $$
$$ e^{iz}=e^{i(x+iy)}=e^{-y+ix}=e^{-y}(\cos{x}+i\sin{x}) $$

The Attempt at a Solution


I really don't know what to do here.. Everything I tried led me to a dead end. Is there a clever substitution to be made? I tried substituting ##z=x+iy##, I tried ##z=e^{it}+2i## and even tried expanding ##\sin{z}##, but it got me nowhere. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

You should use calculus of residues!

The denominator ##z^2 + \pi^2## has singularities at ##z = \pm i \pi##.

Do these lie within the positively oriented contour ##|z - 2i| = 2##?

Yes, ##i\pi## lies within the contour, which means that the integral for any closed path around ##i\pi## would wield the right answer, but that didn't help me much. I still don't know how to calculate the integral.

$$\oint_C f(z) \space dz = (2 \pi i) \times \space \text{Res}[f(z), i \pi]$$
