Homework Statement



Let r>1, let f be analytic in the disc (0,r)\{1}, and suppose that f has apole at 1.

Let sum(a(k) *z(k)) be the power series expansion of f in the disc (0,r). Prove that there is a positive integer N so that a(k) not equal to zero for k>= N, and that

lim (a(N+j+i)/a(N+1))=1

is it so hard?
 
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...
