SQUARES & SQUARE ROOTS
Squares • Square of a number: “Squaring” a number means to raise a number to the second power. Example: 4² =4 · 4= 16 9² = 9 · 9=81 16² = 16 · 16=256
Square Roots The Square Root of a number is the number you can multiply by itself to give you that number. Thus, = 2,because22=4 = 3,because32=9 Try: = 8, because 82=64 = 12,because122=144 =1, because 12 = 1 =0, because 02 = 0
Perfect Squares A Perfect Square: is “perfect” because its square root is a whole number. Example: is a perfect square because = 49 7
Non-Perfect Squares A Non-Perfect Square: is a number whose square root is NOT a whole number. Example: is NOT a perfect square because = 40 6.3245…
Approximating Square Roots You need to estimate its value of non-perfect squares by determining which two perfect squares it falls in between. Example: 11 is a non-perfect square 11 falls between perfect squares 9 & 16 Therefore, is between and Since, = 3 and = 4 Then is between 3 and 4
