I attached the problem, idk if it's really easy or If I'm doing it all wrong.

Since T is a linear transformation T(u+v)=T(u)+T(v)=w+0=w?

Well, sure. What do you think you could possibly be doing wrong?
 
Idk just seems too easy for a problem found at the "end" of a section lol.

Have a little more confidence in what you know!
 
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...
