The square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number. It is denoted by the radical symbol (√). For example, the square root of 25 is 5 because 5 multiplied by itself (5 x 5) equals 25.There are two types of square roots: the principal square root, which is usually what is referred to when simply mentioning the square root, and the negative square root. The principal square root is always non-negative, while the negative square root is its opposite.
Mathematically, for a non-negative real number a, the principal square root is denoted as √a , and it is the non-negative value such that (√a)²=a.
Square roots are widely used in various mathematical and scientific contexts, such as in geometry, algebra, physics, and engineering. They are fundamental in solving equations, understanding geometric shapes, and working with quadratic equations.
