Answer:

Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Since multiplication of two negative numbers is always positive, we get

x *x =x^2 and -x*-x =x^2

This gives us an idea about square root

A positive number can be expressed

as a*a and -a*-a

Thus there will be two square roots one positive which is called the principal square root

The other number will be the same in value but with a negative sign.

Definition: <span>The square root of a number is another number, which on multiplying with itself, will give the original number.
</span>
Every positive number has two square roots. One square root is positive, while the other is exactly same, but negative. The positive square root of a number is called its principle square root. For example, 10 and -10 are the two square roots of 100, but 10 is called the principle square root. 

Hence e<span>very positive number has two square roots , a principal square root and its opposite negative.</span>

GIVING BRAINLIEST! A rectangular garden has a width of 10 feet and a length of 14 feet. A cement walkway is added around the out
Serjik [45]

Given:

Width of a garden = 10 feet

Length of the garden = 14 feet

Area of the garden and the walkway together = 396 square feet.

To find:

The width of the walkway.

Solution:

A cement walkway is added around the outside of the garden.

Let x be the width of the walkway.

The width of the garden with walkway = 10+2x

The length of the garden with walkway = 14+2x

Area of a rectangle is

Area=length\times width

Area of garden and the walkway together is

Area=(14+2x)\times (10+2x)

396=140+28x+20x+4x^2

396=140+48x+4x^2

396=4(35+12x+x^2)

Divide both sides by 4.

99=35+12x+x^2

0=35-99+12x+x^2

0=-64+12x+x^2

Splitting the middle term, we get

x^2+16x-4x-64=0

x(x+16)-4(x+16)=0

(x+16)(x-4)=0

Using zero product property, we get

(x+16)=0\text{ and }(x-4)=0

x=-16\text{ and }x=4

Width of walkway cannot be negative. So, x=4.

Therefore, the width of the walkways is 4 feet.
