Evaluate the following
√100
Term 1 has a square root, so we evaluate and simplify:
Simplify √100.
If you use a guess and check method, you see that 9
2 = 81 and 11
2 = 121.
Since 81 < 100 < 121 the next logical step would be checking 10
2.
10
2 = 10 x 10
10
2 = 100 <--- We match our original number!!!
Therefore, √
100 =
±10The principal root is the
positive square root, so we have a principal root of 10
Group constants
10 = 10
Final Answer:
10

How does the Square Roots and Exponents Calculator work?
Free Square Roots and Exponents Calculator - Given a number (n), or a fraction (n/m), and/or an exponent (x), or product of up to 5 radicals, this determines the following:
* The square root of n denoted as √n
* The square root of the fraction n/m denoted as √n/m
* n raised to the xth power denoted as nx (Write without exponents)
* n raised to the xth power raised to the yth power denoted as (nx)y (Write without exponents)
* Product of up to 5 square roots: √a√b√c√d√e
* Write a numeric expression such as 8x8x8x8x8 in exponential form
