<p>The<a>square</a>root is the inverse of the square of a<a>number</a>. 1/10 is not a<a>perfect square</a>. The square root of 1/10 is expressed in both radical and<a>exponential form</a>. In the radical form, it is expressed as √(1/10), whereas (1/10)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √(1/10) = 0.316227766, which is an<a>irrational number</a>because it cannot be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are<a>integers</a>and q ≠ 0.</p>
