what is the square of 64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what you mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the square root of 64 \[\sqrt{64}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright now look at the constant value 8 (the number at the end). What is thesquare root of 8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there can not be a square root of 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right it only simplifies so it does not permit the factoring because a perfect square is dependent on whether you can square root the first and last coefficient.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because 8 does not square root completely it doesn't permit the factoring

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright thank you so much
