Ozanam's Introduction to the Mathematicks or His Algebra: Wherein the Rudiments of that Most Useful Science are Made Plain to a Mean Capacity. Done out of French, London: Printed for R. Sare atGray's-Inn-Gate inHolborn,→OCLC, problem IV (“To Divide a Quantity by a Quantity”),page 9:
A Power that hath neither the Signs or before it, is look'd upon as Affirmative, and if it be preceded by a Number that contains the Root ſought and itsExponent may be commenſured by theExponent of the Root; namely for the Square Root by 2, for the Cube by 3, &c. it will contain the Root ſought.
1717, Philip Ronayne, “Of the Indices, or Exponents of Powers”, inA Treatise of Algebra in Two Books: The First Treating of the Arithmetical, and the Second of the Geometrical Part, book I, part V, London: Printed for W[illiam] Innys at the Prince's Arms inSt. Paul's Church-Yard,→OCLC,page69:
And univerſally theExponent of them Power, ism times theExponent of the Root, and theExponent of them-Root (or Power) is times theExponent of the Root.
The notation by which the root is expressed, is the mark called a radical, placed over the letter, with anexponent to the left indicating the order of the root.
