Square Root Property

Square Root Property a square root of a number a is a number y such that y2 = a, or, in other words, a number y whose square (the result of multiplying the number by itself, or y y) is a.[1] For example, 4 is a square root of 16 because 42 = 16. Every non-negative real number a has a unique non-negative square root, called the principal square root, which is denoted by , where is called the radical sign or radix. For example, the principal square root of 9 is 3, denoted , because 32 = 3 3 = 9 and 3 is non-negative. The term whose root is being considered is known as the radicand. The radicand is the number or expression underneath the radical sign, in this example 9. Every positive number a has two square roots: , which is positive, and , which is negative. Together, these two roots are denoted. Although the principal square root of a positive number is only one of its two square roots, the designation "the square root" is often used to refer to the principal square root. For positive a, the principal square root can also be written in exponent notation, as a1/2.

Properties :- The principal square root function (usually just referred to as the "square root function") is a function that maps the set of non-negative real numbers onto itself. In geometrical terms, the square root function maps the area of a square to its side length. The square root of x is rational if and only if x is a rational number that can be represented as a ratio of two perfect squares. (See square root of 2 for proofs that this is an irrational number, and quadratic irrational for a proof for all non-square natural numbers.) The square root function maps rational numbers into algebraic numbers (a superset of the rational numbers). Square root property can be explained as a Square root which is the mathematical reverse of a squared exponent. It also says that squaring of a positive or a negative number will be equals to a positive number. Square root property states that if a = b then a = b or a = -b, which can also be written as, a = b. Here we will have two values possibly. Both values will be said real if 'c' is positive otherwise they will be imaginary if 'c' is negative. We can solve a Quadratic Equation using square root property where we can take square root of a squared expression to eliminate exponent in the expression. This property has to be applied to both sides of equation to keep things evenhanded. If any other arithmetic operations are needed to be performed, go for them to find answer from there. Note that at last you will be getting two solutions for 'a'.

Square root property can be used to solve equations like (x - 10) = 4 sort. Begin solving it by taking square root on both sides to eliminate exponent part: we get x - 10 = 4. Place plus or minus symbol in front of square root of "4" to symbolize that two solutions are possible and so two values of x: x - 10 = 4. Perform the operation, retaining the plus or minus symbol: x - 10 = 2. Now we are left with two equations given as x 10 = 2 and x 10 = - 2. Solve them for 'x'. We get, x = 12 or x = 8. This way we can solve even more complex equations using square root property.
