Homework Statement


A short paper 12-16 pages I'm also fairly new to this topic

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


I tried to ecplain it's application using the Robertson walker mrttuc but it ended upmlooking too much like a physics psper:/

General Relativity, or if you want to keep it simple, flight paths.

Flight paths use non-euclidean geometry, since the Earth is a sphere. The shortest distance between 2 points is not a line, it's a circle segment.

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...
