Homework Statement



Show that the group delay of an LTI discrete-time system characterized by a frequency response H(e^{j\omega}) can be expressed as

\tau(\omega)= Re\left\{\frac{j\frac{dH(e^{j\omega}}{d\omega}}{H(e^{j\omega}}\right\}.

The Attempt at a Solution



I think I understand the rest of the proof (not shown here) but I don't see why the equation in (2) is valid. First, I had the idea that the first term in the equation in (2) is the real part and the second term in the equation is the imaginary part of the derivative, but it does not really appear to me to be like that.

Found the solution by asking some friend. If someone wants to know it, let me know.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
