Hi

I have just started a game theory module and have been given the following exercise. Can anyone help me with the following question. I have a feeling I can use a minimax argument to answer this but I am not sure how to go about this.

Suppose a two-player zero-sum game has the following matrix:
A =

a b
c d

Suppose that (e1; e1) is an equilibrium solution. Suppose K a member of the ℝ is a constant. Show for the new game matrix:
A0 =

a + K b + K
c + K d + K

that (e1; e1) is still the equilibrium solution.

if i let Suppose a two-player zero-sum game has the following matrix:

A1 =

a b
c d

then calculate e2TA1e1 = c

Then if I let A2 =

a+k b+k
c+k d+k

then e2TA2e1 = c+k

but I have no idea if this is right or what to do next
 
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...
