Write on the
right side what is missing.
1. concept of root
In the upper figure, we see the floor of a square room that has 100 tiles. How many tiles will the room have on each side? To solve this problem, we must found a number that when we raised it to the square is 100. The result is 10 because 10 x 10 = 100 , 102 = 100.
Therefore, the square root of 100 is 10.
2. Elements of the root
The number 36 is the square of 6. We can also say that 6 is the square root of 36. The symbol Ö
is called radical sing.
In the previous example, 36 is called radicand, 6 is the square root and Ö
is the radical sign.
Exercises:
1. In Ö4 = 2 the 2 is... | |
2. In Ö4 = 2 the Ö is... |
|
3. In Ö4 =2 the 4 is... |
|
4. In Ö16 = 4 the Ö is... |
|
5. In Ö16 = 4 the 4 is... |
|
6. In Ö16 =4 the 16 is... |
3. - Exact square root
When a natural number is raised to the power 2, we get the perfect squares. 36 is the perfect square of 6, we can also say that 6 is the square root of 36.
Exercises:
1. The square root of 49 = |
|
2. The square root of 81 = |
|
3. The square root of 64 = |
|
4. The square root of 100 = |
|
5. The square root of 25 = |
|
6. The square root of 36 = |
4. - Whole square root
If we want to find the square root of 46, we see that it is not a perfect square, since it is greater than 36 (62) and less than 49 (72). The root of 46 will have a whole part (6) and a decimal part.
The whole square root of a number is the root of the greatest perfect square root contained therein.
In this case the square of 6 (36) needs 10 to reach to 46. 46 -36 = 10.
The number 10 is called remainder
The remainder of the square root of a number is the difference between that number and the square of its whole square root.
