I just tried out the integral bounds of phi , it can work getting the correct result. but It cannot convince myself in terms of the bounds of phi, based on the graph on page 1, it should be equal to pi/4. So, how to prove the bounds of phi? Please help with question.

Thanks a lot in advance.

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...
