There is no root of a negative number since any positive number raised to the second power will result in a positive number.
There is no root of a negative number since any positive number raised to the second power will result in a positive number.
\( \sqrt{64}= \)
Everything you need to know about the root of negative numbers is that... it simply does not exist!
Negative numbers do not have a root, if in an exam you come across an exercise involving the root of a negative number, your answer should be that it has no solution.
Want to understand the logic? Keep reading.
The root is some number, let's suppose one that we will call Β that, in fact, will be positive and that, when multiplied by itself will give us .
For example, the root of Β will be a positive number that if we multiply it by itself we will obtain .
That is, .
Instead of saying "multiply it by itself" we can say "raise it to the square".
\( \sqrt{36}= \)
\( \sqrt{49}= \)
Choose the largest value
As we have seen, the root of any number, for example, is a positive number that if we square it will give us .
There is no positive number in the whole world that when squared will give us a negative number, therefore, negative numbers do not have a root.
Solve the exercise:
If we raise to the power of two, we will get .
Another exercise
We will not be able to find any positive number that, when squared, gives us since any positive number squared will be positive and never negative.
\( \sqrt{121}= \)
\( \sqrt{100}= \)
\( \sqrt{144}= \)
Choose the largest value
Let's calculate the numerical value of each of the roots in the given options:
and it's clear that:
5>4>3>1 Therefore, the correct answer is option A
The root of 441 is 21.
According to the order of operations, we'll first solve the expression in parentheses:
In the next step, we'll solve the exponentiation, and finally subtract:
