If 5 is the square root of 25 what is the square and what is the square root?

Answer 1

'Squared' & 'Square Root; are the inverse mathemtical functions.

5 (squared) = 25

square root of '25' is 5

Mathematically this would be written as

Square ; 5 x 5 = 5^(2) = 25

Square Root ; sqrt(25) = 25^(1/2) = 25^(0.5) = 5

NB THis can be exteneded to 'cubes' and 'cube roots'

e.g. 3 x 3 x 3 = 3^(3) = 27

curt(27) = 27^(1/3) = 27^(0.3333.....) - 3

And fourth power and fourth root.

e.g.

Fourth power ; 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 2^(4) = 16

Fourth root = (4th)rt(16) = 16^(1/4) = 16^(0.25) = 2

It can be exteneded to the 'nth power' and the 'nth root'. Where 'n' is any number.

Answer 2

5 is the square root of 25

25 is the square root of 625

625 is the square of 25

25 is the square of 5
