FInd the Square roots (two) of 36

OpenStudy (fionacndg):

the square root of 36 is 6

OpenStudy (natsent06):

I need two answers

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

6 and -6

OpenStudy (fionacndg):

6 and -6

OpenStudy (fionacndg):

@natsent06 does that answer your question?

OpenStudy (mrnood):

Do not give direct answers - it is prohibited by the code of conduct http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 and -6 is correct

OpenStudy (fionacndg):

@MrNood oh really? I will have to look at that... thanks!

OpenStudy (igreen):

You would think an Ambassador like @math&ing001 would know that, but I guess he doesn't.. @MrNood

OpenStudy (fionacndg):

Thank you.. I will remember this for the future

OpenStudy (igreen):

6 and -6 are correct because: \(6^2 = 36\) \(-6^2 = 36\) also. Remember, a negative times a negative always equals a positive so when you multiply -6 by itself, it comes out as a positive 36.

OpenStudy (mrnood):

I would expect that @math&ing001 There is no benefit to the OP to be given an answer like this. "6 & -6" will not be the answer to the NEXT similar question....

OpenStudy (conqueror):

He's probably thinking that an ambassador shouldn't be 72, it should be higher. So he works for the medals.

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

Yes, giving away answers is prohibited by the Code Of Conduct @MrNood and @iGreen Reading that is the first thing we do as ambassadors. However in a few cases like this one, there is not much explaining to do. Simply mentioning -6 would remind him that negatives work too as roots for positive numbers.

And thank you for reminding people of the CoC !
