I'm afraid you've made a mistake in line 3.

You said that (j) = -w + 2i, because you've used w = (2,-1),
this is actually T(w).

You defined w on the second line as (1,1).

Hope this helps, let me know how you get/got on,

ahh thank you! it worked out now!
 
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...
