A power or an exponent is the representative of the number of times a number is multiplied by it self.

42 = 4 x 4 = 16.

34 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 81

However, to undo it you need to exponent the number by 1/2.

EX. 161/2= 4

811/4=3

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
