Unfortunately, limitations of the browser used by Answers.com means that we cannot see most symbols. It is therefore impossible to give a proper answer to your question. Please resubmit your question spelling out the symbols as "plus", "minus", "equals", "squared", "cubed" etc. Please use "brackets" (or parentheses) because it is impossible to work out whether x plus y squared is x + y2 of (x + y)2.

There is no operator between 3x3 and x2 (which I assume are 3x-cubed and x-squared).

Is the square root a real number?

The square roots of any positive real number are a positive and a negative real number. The square roots of any negative real number are a positive and a negative imaginary number. The square roots of any imaginary number or any complex number are two complex numbers.


What are positive square roots called?

They are called real numbers. Negative square roots must be complex numbers.


How does the discriminant affect the roots of a quadratic equation?

If the discriminant is negative, the roots will be two unreal complex conjugates. If the discriminate is positive the roots will be real.


If a is a positive real number and n is even how many roots are there?

Assuming that you mean the nth. root: two - a negative and a positive root.


How many square roots can a positive number have?

Every positive number has two square roots, though the roots are not always whole numbers (or even rational numbers). The more obvious of each numbers roots is the positive one.The positive square root of 4 is 2, because 2*2=4.The positive square root of 5 is roughly 2.236068.The other square root of a number is the negative inverse of their positive root. This is because when two negative numbers are multiplied together the negative signs "cancel out", leaving a positive number.The negative square root of 4 is -2, because -2*-2=4.The negative square root of 5 is roughly -2.236068.Zero has only one square root, itself, and no negative number has any (real number) square roots, since no number multiplied by itself will result in a negative.

How does the sign of a determine the number of real fourth roots of a and the number of real fifth roots of a?

If "a" is positive, it will have two fourth roots, one will be positive and one will be negative it will have one fifth root, which will be positive. If "a" is negative, it will have one fourth root, which will be negative. it will have one fifth root, which will be negative.

How many real cube roots does any positive number have?

there is no cube roots in negative


The real fourth roots of -16?

there are no real answers to an even root (2,4,6,8) of any negative number. the innovation of i allows you to find the unreal answers. i= the fourth root of positive 16 is 2. so, the roots of -16 are positive and negative 2i. post script: you cannot have a real even root of a negative because a negative multiplied by a negative turns into a positive.


If the discriminant is positive are there real roots?

Yes. If the discriminant (of a quadratic equation) is...Positive: There are two real roots.Zero: There is a single "double" root. ("Double" means that if you factor, you will have a repeated factor.)Negative: There are two complex roots (and no real roots).

How many real cube roots does negative 1 have?

Any real number - positive or negative - has exactly one real cube root. Any real number (except zero) has three cubic roots in the complex numbers; but only one of them is real.

Assuming that you mean the nth. root: two - a negative and a positive root.


How many square roots do negative numbers have?

Negative numbers do not have "real number" square roots.However, they will have two roots (when using imaginary numbers) as do other numbers, where a root including i(square root of -1) is positive or negative.


What is the nonnegative square root?

Every positive real number has two square roots: one negative and one positive. As a result, the square root mapping is one-to-many and so is not a mathematical function. One way to make it a function is to restrict the range to non-negative real numbers. These are the non-negative square roots.


Why is square root of the number -9 not a real number?

For the same reason that the square root of ANY negative number is not a real number.Real numbers are positive, negative, or zero. * The square of a positive number is a positive number. * The square of a negative number is a positive number. * The square of zero is zero. In other words, in no case will you get a REAL number whose square is a negative number. The square roots of negative numbers are said to be "imaginary" - a name given for historical reasons. They are just as "real" or "unreal" as the so-called real numbers, but the point is that they are a different kind of numbers.
