Unfortunately, the right syntax is \sqrt[n]{x}. The fact that it does
not work is an old mathed bug that has still not been corrected :(
As a workaround, you can add to your preamble
\newcommand\nthroot[2]{\sqrt[#1]{#2}}
and type \nthroot{n}{x} directly in the math editor. It will not be
WYSIWYG, but at least it will work.
