24.1.2 n-th Roots and Radicals
Core ideaTaking a square root asks what squared gives this number, and we generalize that to asking for an n-th root, written as the n-th root of a.
Module goal. Building on square roots and integer powers, extend exponents to fractions so every rule of powers becomes one unified system, paving the way for exponential functions
