I know how to write it out in the general window, but not in the graphing window (there's no summation option in the graph feature). Is there a way to import it or another way?

Change the graphing mode to sequence.
 
How do I do that?

you could try RTFM.

(hint: there's a MODE button on the 89. You're trying to change the graph MODE. hmmmm)
 
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...
