but as you see the bounds of integral are different from the book text , what is my mistake?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
hat about the part that says: "by using the Cauchy theorem and showing that..."?
 
dear Simon
I didn't understand how can I use the Cauchy tip to solve this inconsistency?
 
It's a step you seemto have left out though.
I'll agree it looks like there's a minus sign missing. Maybe there's a typo? I can't actually read the image properly.

It allows you to perform the integral from \omega = -i\infty to \omega = +i\infty, which on setting \omega = ix becomes x = -\infty to x = \infty.
 
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...
