What principal nth root?
That refers to the positive root, at least if you take the root of a positive number. For example, 25 has two square roots - two numbers which, when squared, give 25. The positive one (+5) is called the principal square root (or 2nd. root).
What is the principal square root of x?
Restricting the discussion to real numbers for now. In this case, the square root is only defined for non-negative numbers; the principal square root of a positive number is the POSITIVE square root. For example, both +5 and -5 are square roots of 25, since both - when squared - give you 25. But the positive square root (+5) is called the principal square root, and if you write the square root symbol, that's the number usually meant.

False
What is the principal root of -25?
The principal root of a number is the positive real square root of the number - if it exists. Since -25 is negative, it does not have a real square root. Its square roots are the imaginary numbers +/-5i where i is the [imaginary] square root of -1. i is neither positive nor negative and so neither +5i nor -5i is a principal root.
What are the positive and negative square roots of 1?
The numbers 1 and negative 1 (-1) are both square roots of positive 1.The square root of negative 1 is the "imaginary" number i.
What is the principal positive square root of 5 rounded to the nearest hundredth?
5.00
How many square roots does the number 13 have?
Every positive number has TWO square roots. The principal square root is the positive number which, when multiplied by itself, gives the number in question. But its negative equivalent will also be a square root. For example, the number 4 has 2 as the principal sqrt but -2 is also a sqrt of 4
