<p>The<a>square</a>root is the inverse operation<a>of</a>squaring a<a>number</a>. 9.6 is not a<a>perfect square</a>. The square root of 9.6 can be expressed in both radical and exponential forms. In radical form, it is expressed as √9.6, whereas in<a>exponential form</a>, it is (9.6)^(1/2). √9.6 ≈ 3.098, 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>
