If x is the principal square root of 7, what must be true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. x = 7^2, and x is negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B. x^2 = 7, and x is negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C. x^2 = 7, and x is positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D. x = 7^2, and x is positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you think? Maybe try to prove them wrong, by finding a counter-example.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As an example: A. x = 7^2, and x is negative \[7^2=49\]Is always a positive number, so in order for \[x=49\] It has to be positive, not negative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeap, that is correct :)
