x = ½
5^½
Here are some handy tips for exponent "n".
1/n = the nth root of the value. ⅓ is the cube root.
-n = the inverse of the value raised to the nth power. 5^-2 = 1/25.

squareroot of a number is this number to the power of half

One Half.
5*1/2 x 5*1/2 = 5*(1/2 + 1/2) = 5*1 =5

x=1/2
because 5 raised to the 1/2 is just like square rooting it

square root means to the 1/2 power so
â5=5^(1/2) or 5^0.5
x=0.5

x = 2
the square root of 5^x (five with an exponent of x) is the square root of 25, which is 5, if I've read the question right.
