ANSWERS :
Learn the basic definition and behaviors of squares, memorize the squares up to 202,
understand how to take the square root in reverse order to undo squaring, and accustom
students with tips to quickly find square roots.
52 = 5 × 5
y2 = y × y
(x + 1)2 = (x + 1)(x + 1) = x2 + 2x + 1
a. The square of either positive or negative value is always a positive value result.
2. The square root of a number, indicated by the radical symbol "√", is the inverse of
squaring (almost),and it undoes the square operation. The square root of a number is the
value that can be multiplied by itself to get the number in question. e.g.
𝑎× 𝑎=a
3× 3=3
a. The square root of a negative value is not real but imaginary. e.g. −1
b. The square root of a positive value has only a positive value
solution by definition. e.g. 9 = +3
c. One approach to estimate a square root is to assume the number in question is
the square of some number and find the nearest perfect squares that would be
above and below the number.
e.g. 425 is greater than 400 = 20 and less than 441 = 21, therefore
the absolute value of square root will be between 20 and 21.
3. Cubes & Cube roots - introduce similar concept to squares, but the exponent is 3.
a. 53 = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125 or (-5)3 = -5 × -5 × -5 = -125 negative results are possible
unlike squares
! ! !
b. 3 × 3 × 3 = 3
!
c. 8 = 2 because 2 × 2 × 2 = 8
!
d. −8 = -2 negative roots are possible
