Assume that f(z)/z0|f(z) / z| \rightarrow 0 as z|z| \rightarrow \infty and that f(z)f(z) is analytic in the upper half-plane (including the real axis). Evaluate

Pf(x)x(x2+a2)dx\mathcal{P} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{f(x)}{x\left(x^{2}+a^{2}\right)} d x

where aa is a positive real number.

[You must state clearly any standard results involving contour integrals that you use.]
