The square root function is the inverse of the squaring function, denoted by $x^2$ (i.e. $x*x$). It is also written as the one half exponent of the argument, so that squaring undoes this function just a multiplying by 2 undoes $\frac12$. Similar function can be generalized to any real number power as well as even complex powers!
