Using the standard inner product in ℂ^n how would I calculate the norm of:

V= ( 1 , i ) , where this is a 1 x 2 matrix

Isn't that a row vector?

||V||=\sqrt{V*\cdot V}, where V* is the complex conjugate and the dot is the inner product.
 
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...
