I'm assuming we're talking about the real numbers.

Does A=[0,1] and B=(1,∞) satisfy you're requirement?

What about A=[0,1) and B=[1,∞)? In this case in particular, what is the lub of A?

What about A=[0,1] and B=[1,∞)?

And what about A=[0,1] and B=[.5,∞)?

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...
