what is square root and cube root
Answers
To find the square root of a number, you want to find some number that when multiplied by itself gives you the original number. In other words, to find the square root of 25, you want to find the number that when multiplied by itself gives you 25. The square root of 25, then, is 5. The symbol for square root is equation. Following is a list of the first eleven perfect (whole number) square roots.
equation
Special note: If no sign (or a positive sign) is placed in front of the square root, then the positive answer is required. Only if a negative sign is in front of the square root is the negative answer required. This notation is used in many texts and is adhered to in this book. Therefore,

Cube roots
To find the cube root of a number, you want to find some number that when multiplied by itself twice gives you the original number. In other words, to find the cube root of 8, you want to find the number that when multiplied by itself twice gives you 8. The cube root of 8, then, is 2, because 2 × 2 × 2 = 8. Notice that the symbol for cube root is the radical sign with a small three (called the index) above and to the left equation. Other roots are defined similarly and identified by the index given. (In square root, an index of two is understood and usually not written.) Following is a list of the first eleven perfect (whole number) cube roots.

Approximating square roots
To find the square root of a number that is not a perfect square, it will be necessary to find an approximate answer by using the procedure given in Example
.
Example 1
Approximate equation.
Since 62 = 36 and 72 = 49, then equation is between equation and equation.
Therefore, equation is a value between 6 and 7. Since 42 is about halfway between 36 and 49, you can expect that equation will be close to halfway between 6 and 7, or about 6.5. To check this estimation, 6.5 × 6.5 = 42.25, or about 42.
Square roots of nonperfect squares can be approximated, looked up in tables, or found by using a calculator. You may want to keep these two in mind:

Simplifying square roots
Sometimes you will have to simplify square roots, or write them in simplest form. In fractions, equation can be reduced to equation. In square roots, equation can be simplified to equation.
