What does the little number inside the \"v\" of the square root sign mean?
\n" ); document.write( "I'm trying to help my son & don't remember ever learning that one.
\n" ); document.write( "example:
\n" ); document.write( "square root of -8 with a little \"3\" in the \"v\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "That \"little v\" is really a \"little r\" and means root.
\n" ); document.write( "If there is no number it means square root.
\n" ); document.write( "If there is a 3, it means cube root, or 3rd root.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Your Problem
\n" ); document.write( "cube root of -8 is -2 because (-2)(-2)(-2) = -8
\n" ); document.write( "=============================
