Is there a way to get the Taylor series of 1/sqrt(cosx), without using the direct f(x)=f(0)+xf'(0)+(x^2/2!)f''(0)+(x^3/3!)f'''(0)... form, just by manipulating it if you already know the series for cosx?

Thread 'Finding the nth roots of a complex number'

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...
