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.
How do I explain square root?
The square root of a number is that number which, when squared, gives you the given number. For example, the square root of 25 is 5, since if you square 5, you get 25. It is the "inverse function" (that is, in a way it's the opposite) of squaring.
How do you square a matrix?
To square a matrix, simply multiply the matrix by itself. It is just like squaring any other regular number in mathematics.
What does it mean to find the square root of a number?
It means you are finding what number multiplied by itself will give you the number you are finding the square root of.
How do you undo squaring a number?
To square a number, you multiply it times itself, for example 3^2 = 3x3 = 9. To "undo" the squaring of a number, you determine its square root. In this case, the square root of 9, or √9. If the number is a perfect square, then the answer is the number that you have to square to get the number under the radical, √. For instance, √9 = 3 because 3^2 = 3x3 = 9. For numbers that are not perfect squares, or for any other number that you find difficult to work with, use your calculator. Different calculators have different keys and instructions, so you should read the instructions that came with your calculator, or look up the instructions online.
