-To calculate a root exponent, such as $\sqrt[n]{x}$, you can use an inverted exponent $x^{1/n}$.
+To calculate a root exponent, such as $\sqrt[n]{x}$, you can use an inverted exponent $x^{1/n}$. JavaScript has a built-in `Math.pow()` function that can be used to calculate exponents.
+
+Here is the basic syntax for the `Math.pow()` function:
+
+```js
+Math.pow(base, exponent);
+```
+
+Here is an example of how to calculate the square root of `4`:
+
+```js
+const base = 4;
+const exponent = 0.5;
+// returns 2
+Math.pow(base, exponent);
+```
