SQUARING A NUMBER
It means to raise a number to the second power.
Examples:
= 5 * 5 = 25
= 9 * 9 = 81
= 10 * 10 = 100
SQUARE ROOTS
In mathematics, a square root of a number x is
a number y such that y2 = x; in other words, a
number y whose square (the result of
multiplying the number by itself, or y ⋅ y) is x.
RADICAL SIGN
The sign √͞ or √ placed
before an expression to
denote that the square root is
to be extracted or that the
root marked by an index (as
in ∛ or ∛ for the cube root)
is to be extracted.
Sometimes you will see the radical sign with a small
number outside of the "v" part. This number is called
the index.
