Is there a simple way to get both root signs in this MWE to be the same size?

Make the quantities whose roots are being taken to be of the same size. \starttext % The simplest solution: \startformula \sqrt[3]{4n} \ne \sqrt[3] {\vphantom{4} n} \stopformula % More general % \strut = \vphantom{(}, which is too big \startformula \sqrt[3]{\strut 4n} \ne \sqrt[3] {\strut n} \stopformula % We can define our own phantom sizes. You can play around with the numbers. \define\filler{\vrule width 0pt height 2ex depth 0.3ex \relax} \startformula \sqrt[3]{\filler 4n} \ne \sqrt[3] {\filler n} \stopformula \stoptext Aditya
