find the image of the set S under the given transformation: S is the disk given by u^2 + v^2 <= 1 where x=au, y=bv

since it is a circle i have that the boundaries are [-1,1] x [-1.1] so for my equations i got
x = au, y = -b
x = a, y = bv
x = au, y = b
x = -a, y = bv

i don't know what the next step would be in trying to draw that

If x = au and y = bv, then u = x/a and v = y/b. I would replace u and v by x/a and y/b, respectively, in the given inequality.
 
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...
