Need to show it is approx. equal to (1/3)!/x^(1/3)

Any suggestion of further substitution? I need to change the limits.

Any ideas? Been thinking about this for a while now, still stumped :-\ Shame as I can do all the other questions.
 
integration by parts is usually the way to go with these. There are two different ways to go about ths depending in x is small or large.
 
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...
