Square root is the invert function of power. Example: 16 = 4 , 4 2 = 16 , 16 = 16 1 / 2 {\displaystyle {\sqrt {16}}\ =4,4^{2}=16,{\sqrt {16}}\ =16^{1/2}} , where 4 2 = 4 {\displaystyle {\sqrt {4^{2}}}\ =4} So in general: x = x 1 / 2 , x n n = x {\displaystyle {\sqrt {x}}\ =x^{1/2},{\sqrt[{n}]{x^{n}}}=x}
