Objectives

• Simplify basic square root expressions

Square Roots

• A number has both a positive and negative square root.

• The principal square root is the positive square root of a number.

• Typically, if no negative sing is present, the principal square root is calculated.

Higher – Order Roots

• Higher order roots can be calculated in a similar way that square roots are calculated.

• The cube root is a number, written as , whose cube is x.

• For example, the cube root of 8 is 2 because 23 = 8.

• The cube root of 8 is writing as .
