Given the numerical statement:

49 to the power of ½

Solution:

The given numerical statement can be written as, 

= 49^½

Raising a number to ½ means that we'll be taking the square root of the number, hence it is the same as enclosing a number with a square root sign. Thus, since 49 is a perfect square number, our answer will be a whole number.

= 49^½

= 7

Final answer:

= 7
