The Attempt at a Solution



Really don´t know. I started thinking about Weierstrass Thereom but I am not sure that it´s ok. Now I think that may be is something about the properties of uniform continuities. Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

This is an easy epsilon-delta argument. Work with the definition of uniform continuity. (It's always helpful to draw a picture.)
 
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...
