nth root

Inverse of exponentiation

The nth root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself n times, produces that number.

The square root is the 2nd root, the cube root is the 3rd root.

Finding the nth root reverses raising to the nth power: The 4th root of 81 is 3, because 3⁴ = 81.
