Do you mean this?



Remember that taking the square root of something is like raising it to the 1/2 power. So:

-2 is outside the square root. For instance, cube root, etc. Also, how would you solve the above problem, if it's a 7 root - outside the square-root- on the v shaped.

Please let me know. The explanation you have provided is not the issue, but how would you solve the above problem is the issue at hand.

Ok - so this is it:

?

This type of symbology means you raise the quanity under the root sign to the power 1 over -2. So For example:



For your problem you have this:

Thank you very much for the clarification. It seems that i was thinking along the same line. For instance, if one understands the concept of square root - square root of X means X ^1/2 or if it's a cube, forth, eight, and so on and forth root, the same principle holds!! If the problem asks us to find the seventh root of X, it could be formatted as follow: X^1/7!!
