Question

what does square roots mean in math

Answer 1

The number's simplest form

Answer 2

Hi there!

Step-by-step explanation:

A square root of a number is one of the number's two equal factors. Every positive number has two square roots, one positive and one negative. The radical symbol, $\sqrt{}$, indicates the non-negative or principle square root.

For example:

$\sqrt{9}$

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

Hope this helps!
