The root There is some confusion on the questioner's part. A root is a root.
Numbers have many roots:
The square root of 64 is 8 since 8 squared is 64: 8² = 8 × 8 = 64
The cube root of 64 is 4 since 4 cubed is 64: 4³ = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64
The square root of a number x is sometimes called "radical x" because x appear after the radical (or square root) symbol: √x
As square roots are used a lot, it is also often abbreviated from "square root" to just "root", for example √2 can be read as "root 2" though to be strictly correct it is "square root of 2".
Roots also refer to solutions to equations (linear, quadratics, cubics, or higher polynomials) where they equal 0, for example x = -3 and x = 2 are the roots of the equation x² + x - 6 = 0; x = -2, x = 1 and x = 4 are the roots of x³ - 3x² - 6x + 8 = 0.

What is the number which when substituted in a polynomial makes its value zero?
A root.
One of the two equal factors of a number called?
The square root
Is non-real numbers exist?
no, every number is a real number --- There are numbers that are not real numbers. They are called imaginary numbers, and have the property that when they are squared, the result is negative. The square root of -1 is called i, and the square root of any other negative number is i times the square root of the absolute value of the number. So the square root of -4 is 2i.
Is the square root of negative 101 a rational number?
The square root of any negative number is not even a 'real' number. It's called 'imaginary', because there's no number you can multiply by itself to get a negative number. The square root of 101 is irrational.
Is the square root of negative 64 a rational number?
The square root of negative 64 isn't even a real number. In math and engineering, it's called an "imaginary number".
The square root of a negative value is called an or complex number?
The square root of a negative value is called an imaginary number.
What is the number which when substituted in a polynomial makes its value zero?
A root.
What is the number that is squared called?
The ROOT
What is the number you are finding the square root of called?
The number of which the square root is to be found is called the "radicand." The symbol before the number is called the radical sign. ( √ ) E.g. √4 = 2, √25 = 5
What is the nennegative square root of a number called?
It is an imaginary number
What is a number whose positive square root is a whole number called?
its called a "perfect square"
What is a number times itself equal to one called?
Such a number is called, "The square root of 1".
What is the root of a number?
The root of a number is any number that when multiplied by a certain number of times, it becomes the original number. The number of times the root has to be multiplied is called the index of the radical. The number that it becomes after it is multiplied is called the radicand. If the index is equal to x, and the radicand is equal to y, then the root can be expressed by " y to the (1/x)th power", or "y1/x".
What is a number that must be multiplied times itself to equal a given number what is it called?
The number is called a 'square root'.
One of the two equal factors of a number called?
The square root
What is the number when multiplied by itself gives the stated number?
That is called the square root of a number.
What is it called when a number has a whole number square root?
Then the number is called a "perfect square".Then the number is called a "perfect square".Then the number is called a "perfect square".Then the number is called a "perfect square".
