three dimensional coordinate systems. vectors.
a) let W br yhe solid region consisting of all the point p(x,y,z) satisfying the following 4 conditions:i) the distance from P to the point (4,2,6) is at lewast twice the distance forom P to the point (1,2,3) ii x>or = 0, iii) y> or = 2 iv) y> or = z. find the volume of solid W

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...
