If a integer greater than four is raised to one half power, we are finding ...

-the cube root of the number

-the square root of the number

-the opposite of the number

-the number divided by two

Anything raised to the (1/2) power is a square root. (1/3) power is a cube root. (1/17) power is the seventeenth root. whenever you raise something to 1 over a number, the number beneath the 1 becomes the index of your radical (aka the little number above the square root line).
