Why does the thread name say solved?

Anyway, Please show us some working, we can't help you otherwise. All I'm going to say is to remember some log identities. You must see a relation between 3.5, 7 and 2.
 
This may come in handy..

log(a/b)=log(a)-log(b)

Thread 'Finding the nth roots of a complex number'

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...
