I have been given this question (in the attachment).

I have a deifnition for what it means for a function to be in the schwartz class, but I don't know how to start showing that the hermite function belongs to it?
I have attempted to write out the first couple of terms using the n+1 forumla for the hermite functions but i ended up getting 0 for n=2 term!

I also know, using the hint, when n=0, what the Fourier transform of the hermite function at n=0 is.

If someone could please give me some guidence, it would be a great help!

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...
