Question

How come, when you continuosly press the sqrt sign on a calculator for a number, you get 1?

Is it just the amount of data a calculator can hold for such a small number?

depends on what number you start with

if you start with a number bigger than one you should get 1

Answer 4

Sorry, I meant 1, lol

Answer 5

cause anything raised to the power 1 is just 1...

Answer 6

\[1^2 = 1\]

Answer 7

\[\sqrt{1} = 1\]

Answer 8

@satellite73 not necessary to be greater than 1.
any positive number will eventually reach 1

Answer 9

true

Answer 10

because your calculator round off the answer.

Answer 11

not necessary to be greater than 1.
any positive number will eventually reach 1

Answer 12

\(1 \times 1 = 1\) or \(1^2 = 1\) or \(\sqrt{1} = 1\) No matter how many times you take a square root of 1 the answer will be 1.

Anything to a power of 1 = itself.
Anything to a power of 0 = 1.

Makes sense
