If you let the first attatchment be true then to find the second attachment you need to...

There was a first part to this question and I got it right. Now I try the equation and I get the integral from 11 to 9.5 = 10 + -9 + 2. Then f(x) would equal 3. If you enter that into ((9(f(x) -2) then you get 25 but that is wrong. then i tried putting 10, -9 and 2 into the equation and adding them to get 21 but that is wrong as well. I don't know where to go from here.

post it elsewhere and link it here, we can't see any of your pics till they're approved.
 
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...
