Here we have a times b equals x; or a multiplied by b is x. In this example, we have the sum of a and b multiplied by c. In this example, a is divided by b; or a over b. This is the nth root of x. For example, the square root of four is the second root of four, which is two. Here we have the cube root of eight, or the third root of eight, which is two. This is x to the nth. For n equal to two, we say x squared. For n equal to three, we say x cubed, or x to the third. Take the sum of two plus six and divide it by two. Multiply the sum of a plus b by fifteen and divide the result by a times b. What number is the sum of eighty- five and five? What is two to the fourth? What is twenty percent more than ten?
