Writing a Finite Polynomial for (k)1/2 in Math | Real Numbers

[mesa]

I need to write, (k)^1/2= a finite term polynomial of 'k' where 'k' is the set of all Reals where 'k' is greater than 0 in math.

Thanks!

You can't write \sqrt{k} as a polynomial in k over \mathbb{R}.

That is interesting because you can, but that isn't the question. How do I go from my statement to 'math'.
