The nth root can also be expressed as a **power** of `x`, where `x ^ (1/n)` is equal to the nth root of `x`. -- Use `Math.pow()` to calculate `x` to the power of `1 / n` which is equal to the nth root of `x`. +Given this, we can use `Math.pow()` to calculate the nth root of a given number. Simply pass it the number `x` and a power of `1 / n`, and you'll get the nth root of `x`. ```js const nthRoot = (x, n) => Math.pow(x, 1 / n);
