Hi, can you help me solve these three questions? Please show each step. Thanks.

1. solve for x: arcsin(6x-pi)=1/8
2. Find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of y = arcsin (6x) at the point ((1/(6sqrt2),(pi/4))
3. Find the indefinite integral of 1/sqrt(81-100x^2)

1. Start by taking the sine of both sides.
2. Its a well-known problem, start by differentiate the function. You are supposed to know how to complete it.
3. Note that 100x^2=(10x)^2 , think about the trigonometric substitutions.

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...
