<p>The<a>square</a>root is the inverse<a>of</a>the square of the<a>number</a>. 3.1 is not a<a>perfect square</a>. The square root of 3.1 is expressed in both radical and<a>exponential form</a>. In the radical form, it is expressed as √3.1, whereas (3.1)^(1/2) in exponential form. √3.1 ≈ 1.76068, 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>
