It is called the fourth root, and is denoted x1/4 or x0.25 (as opposed to x1/2 and x0.5 for square roots). It can also be denoted 4√x. A square root of a square root is the fourth root of a number.
Fourth roots are the inverse operation of raising a number to the fourth power. For a given number, the fourth root is a number that, when raised to the fourth power, equals the original number. For example, the fourth root of 16 is 2, since 2^4 = 16. In mathematical notation, the fourth root of a number x is denoted as √√x or x^(1/4).
The fourth root of 36 = ± 2.44949
'Squared' & 'Square Root; are the inverse mathemtical functions. 5 (squared) = 25 square root of '25' is 5 Mathematically this would be written as Square ; 5 x 5 = 5^(2) = 25 Square Root ; sqrt(25) = 25^(1/2) = 25^(0.5) = 5 NB THis can be exteneded to 'cubes' and 'cube roots' e.g. 3 x 3 x 3 = 3^(3) = 27 curt(27) = 27^(1/3) = 27^(0.3333.....) - 3 And fourth power and fourth root. e.g. Fourth power ; 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 2^(4) = 16 Fourth root = (4th)rt(16) = 16^(1/4) = 16^(0.25) = 2 It can be exteneded to the 'nth power' and the 'nth root'. Where 'n' is any number.
