Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
nth root of a number 'a' is represented by the expression,
![\sqrt[n]{a}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Ba%7D)
In this expression 'n' = Index of of the radical
is called the 4th root of 16.
In
, the index is 4 and the radicand is 16.
4th root of 16 can be represented by ![\sqrt[4]{16}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B16%7D)
![\sqrt[4]{16}=(16)^{\frac{1}{4}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B16%7D%3D%2816%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%7D)

= 2
