The Attempt at a Solution



I attempted the shifting method and also partial fraction method but efforts were fruitless

Show us what you got from those efforts because that approach will work.
 
which one?
 
You can use both concepts in finding the solution, but you should start with partial fractions to separate it into simpler pieces.
 
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...
