Homework Equations


transformation

The Attempt at a Solution


u = x-y
v = x+y

I convert each side in terms of u, v, get:
u = 0, u = -2
v = 2, v = 4

Correct?

Hi, yes I think will be simple... ##u## goes from ##-2## to ##0## ...
 
Okay great, my limits are correct :)
 
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...
