Method and principles

Formula

x = n

Example and interpretation

The square root of 81 is 9 because 9 × 9 = 81. This tool returns the non-negative principal root; the equation x²=81 has two solutions, 9 and −9. Inputs must be non-negative real numbers. A decimal approximation does not replace an exact radical form when you are working with algebraic expressions.

Practical example
