how do you read this &radic and what is the value of it?
The symbol "√" is called the radical symbol or the square root symbol. It represents the mathematical operation of taking the square root of a number. Specifically, "√x" represents the square root of x.
To read "√x" aloud, you can say "the square root of x" or "root x."
The value of the expression depends on the value of x. For example, if x is 9, then "√9" is equal to 3 because 3 multiplied by itself (3 * 3) equals 9. Similarly, if x is 16, then "√16" is equal to 4 because 4 multiplied by itself (4 * 4) equals 16.
In short, the value of "√x" is the number that, when multiplied by itself, equals x.
