Algebra Rule 23
The nth root of the nth power of a number equals that number, or its absolute value
If ``a`` is a positive number, then ``\sqrt[n]{a^n}`` will always equal ``a``. However, if ``a`` is negative, then the result will be positive if ``n`` is even, but it will be negative if ``n`` is odd. This comes from the fact that multiplying a negative number an even number of times always produces a positive result; an odd number of multiplications will produce a negative result. (This has the interesting side effect that there are no real numbers that are even-numbered roots of a negative number.)
