*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 16^{\small{\frac{1}{2}}}]


Raising something to the 1/2 power is the same as taking the square root.  What number whem multiplied by itself is equal to 16.  Hint 3 times 3 is 9 and 5 times 5 is 25.


and


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \sqrt{100}]


This *[tex \Large \sqrt{x}] means to take the positive square root of the value inside.


What number when multiplied by itself is 100?


to render these expressions in plain text use ^ to indicate raising to a power and sqrt to indicate square root.  I.e. you should have rendered your expressions as 16^(1/2) and sqrt(100).
