Square root is not always positive.  One can agree to only think about the positive square root, but that is just a convenience.

radar · Answer

As was mentioned above every positive number has two square roots (and so does wikipedia.  The positive square root is denoted as the principal square root but the negative square root is also valid as (-6)(-6)=+36 or$$(-6)^{2}=36$$

radar · Answer

One number in (6) one number out 36
one number in (-6) one number out 36

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

The square root of 36 is 6 (and only 6)

The solutions to x^2 = 36 are x = 6 or x = -6

I think that's where the confusion lies

anonymous · Answer

i was always taught it was +6 or -6 that is why the in the quadratic formula you have to solve both ways
