Nth Root Explanation


1. The problem is to clarify the meaning of "nsqrt" notation. 2. In this notation, "n" is not a multiplier but rather the index or indicator of the root. 3. Specifically, \(\sqrt[n]{x}\) means the n-th root of x, which is the number that when raised to the power n gives x. 4. For example, \(\sqrt[3]{8} = 2\) because \(2^3 = 8\). 5. So, "nsqrt" should be read as "n-th root" rather than n times the square root. This clears up the confusion between the index of the root and multiplication.
