Roots nth-root with fractional exponents

While the math.sqrt function is provided for the specific case of square roots, it’s often convenient to use the exponentiation operator (**) with fractional exponents to perform nth-root operations, like cube roots.

The inverse of an exponentiation is exponentiation by the exponent’s reciprocal. So, if you can cube a number by putting it to the exponent of 3, you can find the cube root of a number by putting it to the exponent of 1/3.

>>> x = 3
>>> y = x ** 3
>>> y
27
>>> z = y ** (1.0 / 3)
>>> z
3.0
>>> z == x
True
