Homework Statement



I said it is 0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 2 and 0 is less than or equal to y which is less than or equal to 2. Is that correct?

No.
Your description is the square with corners (0, 0), (2, 0), (2, 2), and (0, 2). You are not taking into account that the upper boundary is the line y = x, not the line y = 2.
 
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...
