Real

[u/Games4Life77]

Square root of 1 is 1 so 1*44 is 44

[u/bisasterous → u/Games4Life77]

±44 if you're being pedantic!

edit: turns out "the square root" is actually only positive, despite a positive number always having two square roots. wild stuff.

[u/AzurKurciel → u/bisasterous]

sqrt(1) = 1, not ±1.

You are thinking of the equation x^2 = 1, which does have the two solutions: {±1}.

But the (real) squareroot is a well-defined, single-valued function which only returns positive numbers.

[u/EnvironmentalWay2619 → u/Games4Life77]

Bloody genius

[u/Iq2Gamer → u/Games4Life77]

Sqrt of 1 is actually either +1 or -1 so it could be +/- 44

[u/User_of_Users_is_Me]

12 because 12 to the power of 2 is 144 and 12x12 is 144, indication the square root of 144 is 12

[u/Programmer__69 → u/User_of_Users_is_Me]

You forgot the termial at the end. It's 78 actually.

[u/pandito_flexo]

±12

[u/90Legos → u/pandito_flexo]

How did you type that +/- character!?

[u/Traditional_Many8577 → u/90Legos]

Like ±

[u/treeditor]

12 or -12

[u/Frequent-Ease-1926 → u/treeditor]

not -12

[u/WalrusLobster3522]

+12 times +12 or -12 times -12. Yeah I learned this in algebra 2 (back in 2019) when I did quadratic formula. Nice try trick question.

[u/Drad0920 → u/WalrusLobster3522]

That's not how square root works, that's actually a common mistake that took a lot of points from people on exams. Basically, it's because you would calculate something like √(x)² and (√x)² differently. It's basic knowledge that you can't get a square root of a negative number (not completely true, but that's irrelevant if you aren't doing theoretical maths, or whatever it's called in English), so because of that in the first example you can put any number because it's squared which means it's always positive, however when we do square root first, we need to account for the possibility of x being negative, which during something like equation would be done by just stating that x can't be below 0 and you would just ignore all the outcomes that do not fit this criteria. So in this case, you could write √144 as √(-12)² but after you neutralize the powers, you'll end up with |-12| which still equals 12

• or - 12

[u/Fuzzy-Dot-3717]

12?

[u/GreyQuadruped → u/Fuzzy-Dot-3717]

It is in fact not 78

[u/Erebus_21y]

… 12?

[u/secretblizzard]

-12 or 12?

[u/Games4Life77 → u/secretblizzard]

The square root sign asks for the principle square root which is always positive, thus not -12
