Question

Find all the real square roots of -9/16

Answer 1

SOLUTION:-

The square root of 9 is represented in the form of √9 When we multiply a number to itself we get the square of the number. So, the square root of 9, denotes to un-square the number 9. For example,

2 × 2 = 2² = 4

4 × 4 = 4² = 16

7 × 7 = 7² = 49

Therefore, in the above examples, 4, 16 and 49 are the square numbers. Now to find out if a number is a perfect square or not, we need to check the unit place of the number.

• If the number ends with 2, 3, 7 and 8, then the number is not a perfect square.
• A perfect square number ends with 1, 4, 5, 6 and 9.

It is easy to find the square root of a perfect square number as it results in the whole number, whereas imperfect squares result in fractional or decimal numbers. We can easily square a number by just multiplying the number to itself but taking the square root of the number is a little complicated, especially in the case of imperfect squares.

The square root is represented by ‘√’ symbol. This symbol is named as radical symbol or radix. And the number underneath the radical symbol or radix is called as radicand. Here, we will find out the square root of 9 by a simple method, where 9 is the radicand.

How to Find Square Root of 9?

Number 9 is an odd number and not a prime number. Prime numbers have only two factors, 1 and the number itself. But as we know, 9 have three multiple factors, 1, 3 and 9 itself. Thus, we can write the number 9 in the form of multiple as;

1 × 9 = 9

3 × 3 = 9

9 × 1 = 9

You know that number 9 is a multiple of 3 or when 3 is multiplied by itself, we get the number 9. Therefore, we can write the square root of 9 as;

$\sqrt{9 } = \sqrt{3 \times 3} \\ = \sqrt{3 {}^{2} }$

The square cancels the square root of a number. Therefore, if we cancel the square root with a square in the above expression, we get,

$\sqrt{9} = + 3$

Basically, the square root of a number gives two root values, one with +ve and another with -ve symbol. Therefore, the value of the square root of 9 can be expressed as +3 and -3 or we can say the roots of 9 are +3 and -3.

Number 9 is the perfect square as it fulfils the criteria which we discussed earlier in the introduction.
