Your function is ambiguous. I can't understand what you are trying to represent. For example, what does the period between the exponent x and "Root" mean? If you are trying to represent multiplication here, use an asterisk. By "Root" I presume you mean square root. If so, use sqrt. Also, I'm confused about which parts of the expression following "Root" are actually part of the radicand since you didn't complete one set of parentheses. Finally, is the stuff following "^x" part of the exponent on (x + 1) or a separate factor of the function?
