<p>The<a>square</a>root is the inverse<a>of</a>the square of the<a>number</a>. 5.2 is not a<a>perfect square</a>. The square root of 5.2 is expressed in both radical and<a>exponential form</a>. In the radical form, it is expressed as √5.2, whereas (5.2)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √5.2 ≈ 2.28035, 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>
