Well, honey, let me break it down for you. When you double a number, its square root is just the original number multiplied by the square root of 2. So, technically speaking, doubling a number doesn't directly affect its square root, but it sure does make the math a bit more interesting. Hope that clears things up for you, sugar!

Doubling a number will increase its square root by a factor of the square root of 2 (approximately 1.414). This is because the square root function is not linear but rather a concave function, meaning that the rate of increase slows down as the number gets larger. So, doubling the number will not double its square root, but rather increase it by a smaller proportion.

When you double a number, the square root of the new one

is sqrt(2) = 1.4142 times the square root of the original one.
