Just paste it in.
 
Using the insert link option on the tools somehow made the link fail. ?

IIRC, Angelfire (and a number of other server systems) has a barrier against "hotlinking". You can cut'n'paste a link into your browser entry and it will accept that (I got that to work), but will not allow linking from an embedded URL in a post.
 
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...
