Exploring Roots

  • The nth root of a number is a number that when multiplied by itself n times, is equal to the original number.
  • The first step in simplifying an expression containing roots is to simplify the expression under the radical sign.
  • √ is square root
  • 3√ represents a cube root
  • 4√ represents a fourth root
  • 5√ represents a fifth root
  • n√ is a radical sign that represents the nth root
