Sorry for my English. :)
Let function f(x) defined on [a,b] and its table f(x_k) determined in equidistant interpolation nodes x_k k=0,1,..,n with step h=\frac{b-a}{n}.
Inaccuracy of piecewise-polynomial interpolation of power s (with the help of interpolation polynoms P_s(x,f_{kj}) on the x_k \leq x \leq x_{k+1}) when f^{(s+1)}(x) exist and limited on [a,b] have a O(h^{s+1}) order.
If all we know about function f(x) is that it has limited derivative to some order q q<s, then unavoidable error when we reconstructed the function with the help of its table is O(h^{q+1}). If we interpolate with P_s(x,f_{kj}) the order O(h^{q+1}) reached.
When f(x) have limited derivative of the order q+1, q>s, then inaccuracy of interpolation with the help of P_s(x,f_{kj}) remains O(h^{q+1}), i.e. the order of inaccuracy doesn't react on the supplemented, beyond the s+1 derivative, smoothness of the function f(x).
How can I prove this property called saturability by smoothness.
Thanks for any ideas!

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...
