I can see how to get to

but I'm not sure how the integral works

I can integrate normal linear equations, trigonometric equations ect..

someone please show me qualitatively

F_x(x, 0) means the x-component of \mathbf{F} at the point (x, 0). Since \mathbf{F}(x, y) = (y, 2x), you compute \mathbf{F}(x, 0) = (0, 2x), therefore F_x(x, 0) = 0. The computation of F_y(1, y) is similar.
 
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...
