You can write the square root by using this syntax

hashtag sqrt(something) hashtag

The end result will be

$\sqrt{2}$ $sqrt(2)$

$\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}}$ $sqrt(1/2)$

$\sqrt{x^{2} + 2 x + 1}$ $sqrt(x^2 + 2x + 1)$

The cube root can be written using this syntax

hashtag root(n)(something) hashtag

n represents the root - in this case, n = 3.

You'll get

$\sqrt[3]{8}$ $root(3)(8)$

$\sqrt[3]{x^{3}}$ $root(3)(x^3)$

$\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{x^{9}}}$ $root(3)(1/x^9)$

and so on.

Of course, you can have n equal anything you want

$\sqrt[y]{2}$ $root(y)(2)$

$\sqrt[5]{5}$ $root(5)(5)$
