Homework Statement


\int9s9^s ds

Homework Equations


∫udv=uv-∫9^sds-∫vdu

The Attempt at a Solution


u=9s
du=9ds

dv=9^s ds
v=∫9^sds
=∫3^(2s) ds
=3^(2s)/[2ln(3)]
this is as far as i have gotten. Am i correct so far?

Yes, that is correct. You didn't really need to reduce to 3, that is exactly the same as
\int 9^s ds= 9^s/ln(9)
 
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...
