Replace the radical sign with the exponent 0.5.
For example sqrt(7) = 70.5

The square roots of 13 cannot be simplified.
Exponents are usually written like this: 3^2 means "3 to the second power". Square roots are often written with sqrt in front, such as as sqrt(5)
Exponents can simplify very ugly math problems and their relation to logarithms makes them invaluable. FYI logarithms were invented before exponents.
Exponents can be used to simplify notation when the same factor is repeated
You can add simplified square roots only if the radicals are the same and, in that case, you treat the radicals as you would treat a variable in algebra.For example, sqrt(18) + sqrt(50)= sqrt(9*2) + sqrt(25*2)= 3*sqrt(2) + 5*sqrt(2)= [3 + 5]*sqrt(2)= 8*sqrt(2)
