What are the square roots of 196? A. 13 and –13 B. 14 and –14 C. 16 and –16 D. 98 and –98
@Michele_Laino
hint: we have: 14^2=196, and (-14)*(-14)= 196
that's what i got. how about another question?
ok!
What are the square roots of 576? A. −14 and 14 B. −24 and 24 C. −28 and 28 D. −288 and 288
hint: 576=24*24 and: 576=(-24)*(-24)
that's what i got. next question
What are the square roots of 64 over 144? A. minus 4 over 12 and 4 over 12 B. minus 4 over 9 and 4 over 9 C. minus 8 over 12 and 8 over 12 D. minus 32 over 72 and 32 over 72
hint: 64=8*8 144=12*12 so: \[\sqrt {\frac{{64}}{{144}}} = ...?\]
when i divided 64 by 144 i got 0.44444444444444444444444444444444
hint: \[\sqrt {\frac{{64}}{{144}}} = \pm \sqrt {\frac{{{8^2}}}{{{{12}^2}}}} = ...?\]
\[\frac{ 4 }{ 9 } and -\frac{ 4 }{ 9 } \]
no, since: \[\begin{gathered} \sqrt {64} = \pm 8 \hfill \\ \sqrt {144} = \pm 12 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
when i divided 64 by 144 i got 0.44444444444444444444444444444444. so i went through each answer choice and divided the numerator by the denominator. When i divided 4 by 9 i got "0.44444444444444444444444444444444." so wouldn't that mean that 4 over 9 and negative 4 over 9 is the answer?
