<br /> f(x)=\frac{1}{1+ln|x|}\\<br />
<br /> x\neq \frac{1}{e}\\<br />
<br /> x\neq \frac{-1}{e}\\<br />
<br /> lim_{x-&gt;\frac{1}{e}^+}\frac{1}{1+ln|x|}=\\<br />
<br /> lim_{x-&gt;\frac{1}{e}^-}\frac{1}{1+ln|x|}=\\<br />
i can't immagine ithe values in this function
??

First, 1/e is a postive number so you can just drop the absolute value.

Second, ln e-1= -1. Since ln(x) is an increasing function, if x< e-1, ln(x)< -1 and if x> e-1, ln(x)> -1. That's all you need.
 
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...
