The Attempt at a Solution



Using the squeeze theorem, I get stuck. I tried factoring some things out, and seem to be extremely stuck.

Try the ratio test; I'm quite sure I did this sum that way once.
 
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...
