In simple terms, negative numbers don't have square roots. If you multiply a number by itself, you can never get a negative number for the answer. Square a negative or a positive, you get a positive; square zero, you get zero.Now, if you get fancy, you could say that while a negative number has no real square roots, you can make one up by inventing the imaginary number i, which is the number that when squared, equals -1. Then you can say that sqrt (-96) = [ sqrt(-1) ] * [ (sqrt(96) ] = i*sqrt(96). From here, you can go ahead and simplify sqrt(96) ...Look for a perfect square factor, and take it out of the root: 96 = 4x24 = 4x4x6 = 16x6; sqrt(96) = sqrt(16)*sqrt(6) = 4sqrt(6).So sqrt(-96) = i*4sqrt(6), which is customarily written as 4isqrt6(You would write a radical sign wherever it says "sqrt" above.)
One can say that X+7 equals 4Y but we can not get an answer for X or an answer for Y without knowing one of them first.
My Windows Calculator says 132.25. What does yours say?
To find the area you multiply 138 X 80 this equals 11,040 square ?? You don't say what units you are using so the answer could be square metres, square feet, square yards etc

Exactly! -6 to the power of 2 means "-6 times -6". That's a negative times a negative, and the answer is positive 36.
well id have two say seven times negative seven
If you say so!
When we say "negative 10 squared," we are asking for the result of squaring the number -10. Squaring a number means multiplying it by itself, so (-10) squared is (-10) x (-10), which equals 100. The negative sign is not squared along with the number itself; it simply indicates that the result is negative.
Oh, dude, it's like super easy. You just press the square root button on your calculator, type in the number you want the square root of, and voila! The calculator does the math for you. It's like magic, but with numbers.
To say 'I have a calculator' in Spanish, you would say 'Tengo una calculadora.'
The square root of 37 is the number which yields 37 when multiplied by itself. Since 6x6 is 36, the square root of 37 will be slightly higher than 6. A calculator will be necessary if you don't know the longhand method for finding square roots. This method is no longer taught in schools — suffice it to say, it's like long division, but more complicated. The answer is 6.0827625303.

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.
the square root is 1.77 and pi equals 3.14159265..... and so on. But most people just say pi is 3.14
