This is clear to me (easy )...i am seeking an alternative way of integrating this...or can we say that integration by parts is the most straightforward way?

The key on solving this using integration by parts is to note that;
##u=t, du=dt, dv=sin \frac {1}{2} t, v=-2 cos \frac {1}{2} t##

I am not sure but afraid that we have no better way.

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...
