Homework Statement
For a universe with k=0 and in which (a/a_0) = (t/t_0)^n where n<1, show that the coordinate distance of an object seen at redshift z is
r=\frac{ct_0}{(1-n)a_0}[1-(1+z)^{1-1/n}].2. The attempt at a solution
I have used
r=f(r)=\int_{t}^{t_0} \frac{cdt}{a(t)}=\frac{ct_0}{(1-n)a_0}\left(t_{0}^{1-n}-t^{1-n}\right)
but then what? I know that 1+z=\frac{a_0}{a} but I can't get it right.
