Hello! My problem is the following:

Is

\int_a^b f(z) dt = \int_{g(a)}^{g(b)} f(z) \frac{1}{g} dz

?

\frac{dz}{dt} = g

Thank you!

No. Is z a function of t?
 
If z is a an invertible function of t such that dz/dt= g(t), then dz= g(t)dt, dt= (1/g(t))dz, but you cannot have g(t) in the integral with respect to z.
 
z is a function of t, but not explicit, actually

V_z = \frac{dz}{dt}

was the relation from which we took d t = \frac{dz}{V_z}.

V_z = cte

My biggest problem with this question is f(z) in both sides of the equation... and how do I change the integral from left side to the right.
 
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...
