Formulas and properties of roots
Formulas and properties of roots are used to simplify and reduce complex expressions, and to solve equations and inequalities.
For a > 0 and b > 0 and natural numbers n, m, k the following relations hold:
- The root of a product of several factors equals the product of the roots of the same degree of these factors.
$\sqrt[n]{a·b}=\sqrt[n]{a}·\sqrt[n]{b}$
- $\sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{\sqrt[n]{b}}$
- $(\sqrt[n]{a})^k=\sqrt[n]{a^k}$
- $\sqrt[n]{\sqrt[m]{a}}=\sqrt[nm]{a}$
- $\sqrt[nk]{a^k}=\sqrt[n]{a}$
- $\sqrt[n·k]{a^{m·k}}=(\sqrt[n]{a^m})$
-
$\sqrt[n]{a^n}=$ 
|a| if n is even a if n is odd
- for any a and b such that 0 ≤ a ≤ b, the inequality holds:
√ a ≤ n√ b
