How do you write "the square root of" in an equation on the computer?

Question

As in, if I wanted to say the square root of x. How could I type it without, you know, just saying it?

Answer 1

This is usually typed as:

x ^ 0.5

Roots are written as the decimal equivalent of 1/d where d is the desired root.

Answer 2

raised by 1/2=square root
as in square root of 4 = 4^1/2

Answer 3

I write square root in the following way

x^(.5)

sqrt ( x)

x^(1/2)

Sqr { Sqr means square root}

if I knew how to put the radical symbol I would tell but I I don't know

Answer 4

a common abbreviation is sqrt.

So "the square root of 2" would be sqrt(2).

There are also key codes for the computer that will produce the square root symbol (√). I use a mac, so I don't know the PC code, but the mac code is simply "alt-v."

Answer 5

number ^(1/2)=square root of number

Answer 6

sin2x=root 3/2 u take the sin over 2x= arc sin(root 3/2) <--thats how u pronounce it, that is written as sin to the potential minus a million that is a particular attitude sin 60,one hundred twenty, 420,480...= root3/2 for this reason 2x=pi/3,2pi/3 x=pi/6 and pi/3 others are out of variety

Answer 7

find the square root of any number...

Answer 8

x^(1/2)

Answer 9

Use charmap (character map). start -> run type in charmap.

Answer 10

Thought i knew but i dont, oops.
