square root

It might not even be a square root sign. The thing with the check mark and the bar at the top

If you don't know what the sign is (was it never discussed in class?), then there is little way for us to know.

Please review your text and class notes, or ask your instructor what the symbol is that you're looking at. Thank you.

Unfortunately, that constitutes two symbols when writing inline text, the radical and the vinculum. You really cannot do it properly. With just the radical and following parentheses, it just looks very odd.
