Where is the square root button on a mac laptop?
There is probably no square root button on the laptop keyboard. Look around in the software on the computer for an application called " Calculator ". That will have a button on it to perform the square root operation, plus buttons for a lot of other operations too.
What are the Order of Operations when simplifying a negative square root if using the quadratic formula to solve a quadratic formula?
The usual rules for "order of operation" apply. Don't forget that the square root of a negative number is an imaginary number. As an example, the square root of -9 is 3i (that is, the square root of +9, times the "imaginary unit").

How do you perform any operation by giving any operator?
You cannot perform any operation by giving any operator. The operation must be valid in the domain and range.For example, you often cannot perform the square rootoperation using the square root operator if your domain and range are integers. At the level of maths that I guess you are at (from this question), the square root of a negative number is not a operation that is defined.
How do you find the square root of something?
Finding the square root of a number is performing the opposite operation of squaring the number. In order to square a number you must multiple the number by itself. 2 x 2 = 4 so the square root of 4 is 2.
