I really don´t agree with the solution
https://www.physicsforums.com/attachments/295846

as I calculated fxy I got
fxy=xyexy
f(0,1)=0 so x(y-1) should not appear in the solution
am I wrong?

thank you!

thank you I solved the problem it was my wrong calculation!
 
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...
