Suppose I have a function of the type:

h(t) = g(t)f(t)

where g(t) is a periodic function. Are there any nice properties relating to the Fourier transform of such a product?

Edit: If not then what about if g(t) is taken as the complex exponential?

Not sure about your first question, but if
$$
h(t) \Leftrightarrow H(f)
$$
is a transform pair, then
$$
h(t) e^{-2 \pi i f_0 t} \Leftrightarrow H(f - f_0)
$$
and its called frequency shifting (taken from Numerical Recipes in C).
 
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...
