The first part of your solution appears correct however you still need to negate that which is in the parantheses. It may help to write out the logical operators in words to give you a better picture of the question. I came up with a solution, but I will wait to post till you give the rest of your problem a shot.
 
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...
