find the basis of solutions using the frobenius method.
can anyone solve this please...

Okay, do you know what the "Frobenius method" is?

Strictly speaking, you don't need the Frobenius method for this because x= 0 is not a singular point. Just a standard power series will do.
 
that what i don't understand the question was given to me like that...
i have no clue to do that problem
 
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...
