Square Root
Square Root
A square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself , gives the number .
√a²=√a*a = a (a² = a*a)
Note
a² = -a * -a (since - * - = +)
so,
√a²=√-a*-a = -a
Hence,
√a²= a or -a
Example
1) Find a square root of 25 or find √25
25 = 5* 5 or 25 = -5 * -5
√25 = √5*5 = 5
or
√25 = √-5*-5 = -5
hence, √25 = 5 or -5
2) Find a square root of 9 or √9
9 = 3*3 or 9 = -3 * -3
√9 = √3*3 = 3
or
√9 = √-3*-3 = -3
3) find the square root for 576
√ 576 = 24 or -24
Square Of a Number
Square of a Number
To square a number, just multiply it by itself.
That is,
a² = a*a
also, we can write it as
a^2 = a*a (^ is the symbol of exponent)
Example
1) Find a square of 2
here the number is 2
to find a square of a number we have to multiply that number by itself
square of 2 = 2*2 =4
that is, 2^2=2*2=4
2) Find a square of 3
3²=3*3=9
3) Find a square of 7
7²=7*7 = 49
4) Find a square of (-5)
(-5)² = -5 * -5 = 25
Note
- * - = + (-3 * -3 = 9)
- * + = - (-3 * 3 = -9)
+ * - = - (3 * -3 = -9)
+ * + = + (3 * 3 = 9)
8-4 = 4
(8-4)² = 4² = 4*4 = 16
15-25 = -10
(15-25)² = (-10)² = -10 * -10 = 100
Note
5-3 = 2
-5-3 = -8
-5+3 = -2
5+3 = 8
