Think about it.
Think about it.
x is not just x. x is x1. x is x raised to the power of one: x multiplied by itself no times at all; x just being x. So then x 1 is x on its own. x is, therefore, x.
So then, x1/2 is going to be a number that, multiplied by itself, makes x.
In other words, the square root of x.
√x = x 1/2
It does get a bit more complicated than this....
