Anything to the half power is the same as taking the square root. For instance $\"sqrt%28x%29=x%5E%281%2F2%29\"$ so
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=+-2%28x-3%29%5E%281%2F2%29\"$ can be written as $\"y=+-2%2Asqrt%28x-3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "As a general rule this is true:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E%281%2Fn%29=root%28n%2Cx%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
