5. Hi there,

I didn't realize Mark has already taught you how to type square root in LaTeX... and what I mentioned in the challenge thread that we both participated is essentially the same as Mark's ...
6. Hey Kali,

To create a square root using $\LaTeX$, use the command \sqrt{} where the radicand goes in the braces. For example:

\sqrt{x^2+y^2} gives you $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

To create other roots, use the command \sqrt[]{} where the degree of the roots goes in the square brackets. For example:

\sqrt[n]{a^m}=a^{\frac{m}{n}} gives you $\sqrt[n]{a^m}=a^{\frac{m}{n}}$

Hope this helps, and please do not hesitate to ask me if you need to know any other $\LaTeX$ commands.

Best Regards,

Mark.
