Do you mean something that looks like this sqrt%28-1000%29 but with a small 3 in front of the symbol??
That's a cube root symbol.
It means... find the number x such that x*x*x=-1000.
You might also see it as
x=%28-1000%29%5E%281%2F3%29
x=%28-1%29%5E%281%2F3%29%2A%281000%29%5E%281%2F3%29
x=%28-1%29%2810%29
x=-10
