Can zero be used as a radical?

yes the nth root of zero is always zero


If a is a positive real number and n is even how many roots are there?

Assuming that you mean the nth. root: two - a negative and a positive root.


How do you type eighth root in wolfram alpha?

x^(1/8). Taking the nth root of a number is the same as raising that number to the power of the reciprocal of n. (n-root(x)= x^(1/n). You can use this fact when raising numbers to the power of a fraction. x^(a/b)= b-root(x^a).


What is the nth root of 244?

The nth root of a number is that number which when raised to the nth power (ie when multiplied by itself n times) results in the number. When n=2, it is the square root of the number; when n=3 it is the cube root of the number. To find the nth root of a number, an electronic calculator can be used, using the nth root button [x√y] (though more recent calculators replace the x and y by boxes) viz: <n> [x√y] [2] [4] [4] [=] or with the more recent calculators: [#√#] <n> [Navigate →] [2] [4] [4] [=] where <n> is the nth root, eg for 2nd root (square roots) enter [2]; and the # is being used to represent a box on the keys of the more recent calculator. Considering the rules for indices, the nth root is the the number to the power of 1/n, ie 244^(1/n), thus the calculation can be done using the power button: [2] [4] [4] [^] [(] [1] [÷] <n> [)] [=] With the more recent calculators, the power button is pressed first, the 244 entered, the navigate-right key pressed (to get in to the power part of the input) and then the n entered.


A to the 1 divided by n power?

rearrange the following: A^(1/n)= the nth root of A. eg A to the power 1/2 equals the square root of A. A to the power 1/3 equals the cube root of A. etc.
