MathML Radicals

In MathML, two elements are used to specify radicals. These two elements are:

• <msqrt> element
• <mroot> element

The <msqrt> element creates a square root, taking the base as its only argument, and the <mroot> element is used to create an indexed root. It takes base and index as argument.

For example:
