Hello and Happy New year, I'm having some trouble computing this integral:

limn->00\int^{1}_{0}\sqrt[3]{1+x^{n}sin(nx)}

Any suggestions are appreciated.

It sure looks like the limit ought to be one, doesn't it? Try to write down some inequalities sandwiching that integral between two integrals whose limit you know is one. Start by using -1<=sin(nx)<=1.
 
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...
