Raising a number to the 1/2 power produces the square root. 1/2 is the exponent you're looking for.
When you take the square root of a variable raised to an exponent, you divide the exponent by two. For example the square root of x^4 is x^2, because x^2 x x^2 =x^4.
To take the square root of any power, just reduce the exponent to one-half of each value.
The fraction in an exponent takes the base to that radical power (1/2 is take the square root, 1/3 is take the third or "cube" root, 1/5 is take the fifth root, etc) and the numerator to that positive power (2 is squared, 3 is cubed, etc) For example: 4 to the 1/2 power is the square root of 4, which is two. 4 to the 3/2 power is the square root of four, 2, taken to the third power, which is 8.

The square root of -3 is i times the square root of 3 (where "i" is the imaginary unit). To take the square root of an expression such as n9, you can halve the exponent and write it either as n4.5 or (square root of n) times n4. Finally, you have to multiply all the parts together for the final result.
Plus or minus the base. If the base is X and you square it, you get X2. If you take the square root of that, you get Plus or Minus X. This is because X*X equals X2 and -X*-X also equals X2.
square root of x is the same as x^(1/2). You do the same as you would normally 1/2 * x^(-1/2). Take the exponent, put it down in front of x and subtract the exponent by 1 (1/2 - 1 = -1/2)
You divide the exponent by 2 The square root of a number is that number to the 1/2 power So for examle square root of x cubed (x^3) is x^3 to the half power =x^3/2 (x to the 3/2 power)
The square root of 2 squared is 2. sqrt(22)=2 The square root function and the exponent 2 and opposite function and cancel each other out. 22=4 sqrt(4)=2 =>sqrt(22)=2 What is the (square root of 2) squared - If you take the square root of a number then square it the answer is the number itself, so the answer is 2! What is the square root of (2 squared) - Looking at the question another way, if you take a number and square it, the square root of the resulting answer is the number itself, so the answer is 2! Unless, of course, this is a trick question . . . ivj
-- Square the hypotenuse. (Multiply it by itself.)-- Square the base. (Multiply it by itself.)-- Subtract the square of the base from the square of the hypotenuse.-- Take the square-root of the difference. It's the height of the triangle.
It's about 84.9 ft. U take the amount of feet between a base and square it, multiply by 2, and take the square root of it... This is the pythagorus theorem
You don't take the square root of a house, or of any object for that matter. You can take a square root of numbers, and of certain measurements, for example, the house's surface area.You don't take the square root of a house, or of any object for that matter.
