Not quite ggx. Think about square root, cube root, fourth root, fifth root, etc of a number (X) as that number (X) raised to a power of 1/2 (0.5), 1/3 (~0.33), 1/4 (0.25), 1/5 (0.2), etc...

Re: Question about math.pow and math.sqrt
You're absolutely correct! By the way, you are not actually multiplying the base number by 0.5, but raising the base number to a POWer of 0.5. You'll find proofs in a high school maths text book. You...
Re: Question about math.pow and math.sqrt
Yes! If you want square roots, use Math.sqrt instead. However, Math.pow as you've mentioned can also get the job done. Yet, I could consider that 'illegitimate' as is the possibility of more...
