The discussion focuses on the correct usage of LaTeX commands for square roots and cube roots. Specifically, the command \sqrt{} is used for square roots, while \sqrt[3]{} is designated for cube roots. It is emphasized that for square roots, the argument should be placed within braces without the need for brackets, as demonstrated by \sqrt{8} producing the output \sqrt{8}. This clarification aids users in properly formatting mathematical expressions in LaTeX.
PREREQUISITESMathematicians, educators, students, and anyone involved in typesetting mathematical documents using LaTeX.
For just square root (as opposed to cube root, etc.) you don't need the "[ ]". And the 8, assuming it is supposed to be in the square root goes inside the braces:Gringo123 said:x2
