The index is 2. If we have the nth

root of a number, the index is n. The index means how many times do we multiply the number by itself. So for square roots, we do it twice. For example, square root of 9 is 3 because 3x3 is 9 and index is 2. Cube root of 8 is 2 since 2x2x2=8 so the index is 3 since we multiplied 2 by itself 3 times
