Best Answer

Square roots are computed using the Babylonian method, calculators, Newton's method, or the Rough estimation method.

Or the Newton-Raphson method.

Why is there no solution to the square root of -169?

The answer is an imaginary number, because of the negative under the square root. The same number multiplied together will always be a positive number. For example, if you square negative one, the answer is positive one, because a negative times a negative is a positive. Because a square root undoes a square, there is no solution to the square root of a negative number. That's why your calculator could not compute this problem. However, there is a way to solve these types of problems by using imaginary numbers. The answer is 13i, where i is the square root of negative one.

Why do you say approximate rather than compute when finding square roots when using a calculator or spreadsheet?

Well, it's both: you're using a machine to compute an approximation. Why isn't it exact? Most square roots (such as the square root of two) are irrational numbers, so their decimal representation requires an infinite number of digits. We humans have to have finite answers, hence we round off.

What is the square root of a square that has no root?

It's not a square if it has no root. If a number is a square then, by definition, it MUST have a square root. If it did not it would not be a square.
