3.0 9**(1/2), by the law of indices, = sqrt(9) = 3 But wait, 1/2 is a float, ao it is not 3, 3.0

** power or exponent means a number is multiplied by itself. Here 9 is the base, (1/2) and 0.5 are the exponent. The answer is 3.0 9**(1/2) == 9**0.5

9**1/2 >>> 9*1/2=3 which also means 3.0 is it right?
