My SOPE notes, as well as the diagram in the Camara book (and on this site: http://myelectrical.com/notes/entryid/134/dc-component-of-asymmetrical-faults) show the equationas being (2)*sqrt(2)(I"_k)

Is that really a 2 multiplier, or is it meant to indicate that it's a square root (and not 2 x sqrt(2))?  The reason I ask is because the page in my SOPE notes where this appears, in another equation, they use the 2 in front of the root symbol to indicate square root (like you would use a 3 to mean cube root), and I find the SOPE notes often lacking in formatting and consistency of equations/variables.  

Not sure it would appear on the test, but want to be sure.
