Question 252151
Since {{{(16)^(1/2)^""=sqrt(16)}}}, you are correct in saying that you are going to take the square root of each number. One way you can do it is to write 16 as {{{4^2}}} and 100 as {{{10^2}}} and then realize that {{{sqrt(x^2)=x}}} (where {{{x>=0}}}. So this means that {{{sqrt(16)=sqrt(4^2)=4}}}.
