After converting a surface over the region that \rho=sin\phicos\theta/a + sin\phisin\theta/b + cos\phi/c
I also have that this region is equal to 1.

I can't seem to get anywhere..

And your question is?
 
haha sorry. i meant to ask how would i get the range for p.
 
Well, \rho can't be less than 0. What is the maximum value of \rho?
 
the max is one.
 
Moneyjane,

Could you show your work to get to the maximum of 1 ?

Thanks
 
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...
