Everything is in the picture I've attached. I believe my work is right because it's not that difficult of a problem but what I'm having a hard time seeing is how i go from the coefficient bn that I've calculated to the final solution. Maybe I did screw up or maybe there's an identity I'm not seeing.

Anyways if anyone is able to help that would be greatly appreciated thanks! :D

What does ##b_n## simplify to if ##n## is odd?
 
Hey Jbuns Thanks so much I see how odd n's simplify to 0 and how the the terms simplify when n is even. Also thank you for your post on my other question. If you ever need anything! hit me up lol :D
 
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...
