Evaluate the following
√9
Term 1 has a square root, so we evaluate and simplify:
Simplify √9.
If you use a guess and check method, you see that 2
2 = 4 and 4
2 = 16.
Since 4 < 9 < 16 the next logical step would be checking 3
2.
3
2 = 3 x 3
3
2 = 9 <--- We match our original number!!!
Therefore, √
9 =
±3The principal root is the
positive square root, so we have a principal root of 3
Group constants
3 = 3
Final Answer:
3

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
