WHAT DOES RADICAL SIGN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

nth root

In mathematics, the nth root of a number x is a number r which, when raised to the power of n, equals x where n is the degree of the root. A root of degree 2 is called a square root and a root of degree 3, a cube root. Roots of higher degree are referred by using ordinal numbers, as in fourth root, twentieth root, etc. For example: ▪ 2 is a square root of 4, since 22 = 4. ▪ −2 is also a square root of 4, since 2 = 4. A real number or complex number has n roots of degree n. While the roots of 0 are not distinct, the n nth roots of any other real or complex number are all distinct. If n is even and x is real and positive, one of its nth roots is positive, one is negative, and the rest are complex but not real; if n is even and x is real and negative, none of the nth roots is real. If n is odd and x is real, one nth root is real and has the same sign as the radicand, while the other roots are not real.
