    The document discusses perfect squares and cubes. It defines the square root of a number a as the solution to the equation x^2=a, which has two solutions: the positive and negative square root. Examples are provided of solving equations for perfect squares, such as x^2=64 having solutions of x=8, and perfect cubes, such as x^3=27 having the solution x=3. It also gives an example of an equation with no real solutions.

    EXPRESSION
    PERFECT SQUARES AND PERFECT
    CUBES
    The Square Rooto of a number a is the solution
    of the equation x²= a. Every number a has two
    square root: the positive square root, √ , called
    the principal square root; and the negative
    square root,- √. Oftentimes ,this is written as x=
    √ to representthe two roots. This is read as , "x
    equals plus and minus the square root of a".
    Examples:
    PERFECT SQUARE
    1. Solve:
    x² =64
    X² = √64
    X²= 8
    2. Solve:
    4x² + 16 = 0
    4x² + 16 = 0

    X² + 4 =0 This equation has no real roots because a<0


    X² = -4 -4 has no real square roots.
    Perfect Cube
    Solve:
    1. x³ = 27
    X = ³√27
    X=3
    2. 2x³ - 16= 0
    2x³ - 16 = 0
    x³ - 8 = 0
    X = ³√8
    X= 2
