When you take a square root of a number, essentially you are taking the number to the 1/2 power (1/2 being the inverse of 2.)
e.g.: sqrt(4) = 4^(1/2)
Additionally, a square root is finding out what number can be multiplied by itself to produce the input. Using the same example as above, 2 (the answer) can be multiplied by itself to produce 4 (the input).
Whereas squaring a number is multiplying the number by itself, e.g. 2^2 = 2 x 2 = 4.
Finding the square root of it. Taking the square root. Not squaring it.
Taking the square root of a negative number is not the same as squaring a number because the square root is only defined for non-negative numbers. Additionally, taking the square root of a non-perfect square number will result in an irrational number, which cannot be expressed as a fraction or a repeating decimal.
Taking a number to the second power is known as "squaring" the number.
The opposite of another function - if you apply a function and then its inverse, you should get the original number back. For example, the inverse of squaring a positive number is taking the square root.
First, you need to define what kind of inverse you mean: additive, multiplicative or other.It will almost always be the case that the two operations are different. The only exceptions are:additive inverse: when the number is -1 and the non-principal square root is taken.multiplicative inverse: the number is 1.
Taking the square root is the opposite of squaring.

The inverse of x2 is x-2.
Taking the square root of a negative number is not the same as squaring a number because the square root is only defined for non-negative numbers. Additionally, taking the square root of a non-perfect square number will result in an irrational number, which cannot be expressed as a fraction or a repeating decimal.

Every operation in Mathematics needs to have an inverse. For addition, its inverse is subtraction (and vice versa) For multiplication, its division The inverse of squaring a number, is taking its square root.
The square root of 16n to the power of two, (√16n)2 is just simply 16n. Any number or monomial that is squared after the square root is taken is just the number itself, since squaring is the inverse property of taking the square root of something.

squaring a number is taking it to the second power, initialy just multiplying it by its self.
The perimeter of square is calculated by taking the length of all four sides (which are equal) and multiplying the sum by four. The area can be calculated by taking one length and squaring it. If the perimeter is 1-centimeter (cm) total, each side is .25-cm. Therefore the area after squaring the length is .0625 sq. cm.
Let's start with a number such as 36, the square root is 6 since 6x6, which is another way of writing 6 squared (62) =36. So to find the square root of 36 we ask, what number when multiplied by itself equals 36. The process of multiplying a number by itself is squaring. So another example, square root of 4 is 2 since 2 squared is 4. Now for a number such as 3, you can't easily find a number such that when you square it you get 3. You would need to use a calculator or one of many methods to approximate the square root of 3.
