Short Answer

Mathematical Software Documentation Rule

As a technical writer developing a training module for new mathematical modeling software, you are drafting the reference section on simplifying complex radical expressions such as 180m9n11\sqrt{180m^9n^{11}} and 80x7y44\sqrt[4]{80x^7y^4}. Based on the properties of roots, state the specific two-part rule that dictates when absolute value signs must be applied to a variable after it has been extracted from a radical.
