Thanks

Looking at the second, bH, row, of course, bH*eh= bH is, of course, first. Then 'bH*bH' requires that you 'multiply' {b, g}*{b, g}= {b*b, b*g, g*b, g*g}= {a, e, e, a}= {a, e}= eH. 'bH*cH' is {b, g}*{c, h}= {d, f}= dH. 'bH*dH'= {b, g}*{d, f}= {c, h}= cH.

many thanks- this clarifies everything
 
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...
