WordPad is not meant to handle the typesetting and display of mathematical expressions. You can use this radical symbol: √ to display simple square roots, but you can't extend the mark above the thing you're taking the square root of. To display more complex expressions, you need a program like MathType, which is specifically designed to typeset math.
That symbol is called the radical.
The idea is to take out perfect squares. The largest perfect square in this case is 256, which is the square of 16 (if you have trouble figuring this out, you can take out a smaller perfect square first, and then see if you find additional perfect squares). In any case, the end result should not have a factor that is a perfect square. Using the symbol "root()" for square root: root(512) = root(256 x 2) = root(256) x root(2) = 16 root(2)
If a is any number, then a squared = (-a) squared, so one might say that a and -a are both square roots of a squared. However, the square root symbol always means the positive square root.
According to Wikipedia, article on "Square root": "The symbol '√' for the square root was first used in print in 1525 in Christoph Rudolff's Coss, which was also the first to use the then-new signs '+' and '−'."
The square root of 900 is 30 and it is a factor of 900
The the square root symbol can be displayed by using ASCII code cout<<"press alt251"; pressing alt251 "��"
option/alt V
Generally signified with the expression: X^(1/2)
1 =1
The symbol for a a square root sign is: √
Alt+251 -- To show the symbol you need to hold alt and press 251 on the numpad. Just in case you are meaning to find the square root of a number then you only need the function SQRT(~number~). Also, it looks kind of like a check mark. So, as an alternative, you can also write square root as "^(1/2)" or "^0.5" or just "^.5"
The only thing that a square root symbol does is that it symbolises an operation (taking the square root) of whatever is under the sign.
The square root symbol is like a tick with a line connected to the top. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root and the square root symbol is displayed.
The square root SYMBOL is √ Occasionally it may have a superscript 2 to prevent any confusion with other types of roots.... ²√ Although not a Symbol, the square root can also be identified by using an index or power of ½. So, √9 = 3, ²√9 = 3 91/2 = 3............are three ways of showing that the square root of 9 is 3.
The square root symbol is the radical sign, √.
The symbol is not considered an integer. Thevalue of the square root is, though.
From within the program - click on Insert, then Special Character. Locate it in the table (it's towards the bottom of the table - roughly central) and click OK
