62 = 36 36 = 6 Think about the relationship between the area of a square and the length of one of its sides. area = 36 square units side length = 36 = 6 units Taking the square root of a number is the inverse of squaring the number. Every positive number has two square roots, one positive and one negative. One square root of 16 is 4, since 4 • 4 = 16. The other square root of 16 is –4, since (–4) • (–4) is also 16. You can write the square roots of 16 as ±4, meaning “plus or minus” 4.
+ 16 = 4 – 16 = –4 Caution! –49 is not the same as – 49. A negative number has no real square root. When you press the key on a calculator, only the nonnegative square root appears. This is called the principal square root of the number. The numbers 16, 36, and 49 are examples of perfect squares. A perfect square is a number that has integers as its square roots. Other perfect squares include 1, 4, 9, 25, 64, and 81.
Finding the Positive and Negative Square Roots of a Number Find the two square roots of each number.
49 = 7 225 = 15 225 = –15 49 = –7 – – 100 = 10 100 = –10 – Example 1 A. 49 7 is a square root, since 7 • 7 = 49. –7 is also a square root, since –7 • –7 = 49. B. 100 10 is a square root, since 10 • 10 = 100. –10 is also a square root, since –10 • –10 = 100. C. 225 15 is a square root, since 15 • 15 = 225. –15 is also a square root, since –15 • –15 = 225.
25 = 5 289 = 17 289 = –17 25 = –5 – – 144 = 12 144 = –12 – Example 2 A. 25 5 is a square root, since 5 • 5 = 25. –5 is also a square root, since –5 • –5 = 25. B. 144 12 is a square root, since 12 • 12 = 144. –12 is also a square root, since –12 • –12 = 144. C. 289 17 is a square root, since 17 • 17 = 289. –17 is also a square root, since –17 • –17 = 289.
