MATLAB gives the result 2^(1/2), which means 2 1/2, using symbolic notation for the square root operation, without actually calculating a numerical value. MATLAB records this symbolic expression in the string that represents 2^(1/2). You can always obtain the numerical value of a symbolic object with the double command: double(a) ans = 1.4142
