There are different types of roots, most generally seen is the square root.
it looks like an old school division sign, I will be using ^ to represent it
to find ^x you must find the number that, when multiplied by itself equals x
it is most easily found with a calculator.
A square root can be found by making ^x=x1/2
so ^x=x1/2
When x=9
^9=91/2
^9=3
91/2=3
because 3*3=9 or 32=9
There is also the cube root, which is written as 3^x
this is the same principal as the square root
you must find the number that when multiplied by itself twice equals x
a cube root can be found by making 3^x=x1/3
so 3^x=x1/3
When x=8
3^8=81/3
3^8=2
81/3=2
because 2*2*2=8 or 23=8

The word 'Algebra' is Arabic in origin, as 'A; Jebr', and means 'The Union of broken parts. The roots of algebra can be tracted back to Babylon approximatelt 1700 BC. Modern algebra was first used in the 16th Century,
Since "pre-" means before, then pre-algebra would be before algebra. Conversely, algebra would be after pre-algebra. Generally, the next class after a pre-algebra class would be Algebra I, followed by Algebra II.
Pre-algebra preps you for algebra.2nd answer:Pre-AP-algebra is the same as Algebra I. Both are way harder than pre- algebra.
