how to insert a radical sign using keyboard?


I am doing my match assignments and solving problem related to cube root or square root. But the problem I am facing is that I do not find a key on my keyboard that help me to insert a radical sign which is used to represent the root of a number. So I want to ask you is that possible to enter a radical sign with help of a regular keyboard? Any shortcut for that?
