Yes every positive number has two square roots, i.e. 25 gives 5 and -5

but when you are looking at a square window, its lengths are all the same and also the length has to be positive. You cannot have -5 cm. There is no such things as a negative length which is why we take the positive one only.  So if the surface area of a square window is 25cm². Then its length is √25 = 5 cm (or -5cm but again you cannot have a negative length, thus you only take the positive one).

Some math problems like this you have to think about if you can have a negative answer. in this case no, but other problems can sometimes have a negative answer.

Hope this helps :P

(7x+3/4*[x-1])^2

Step-by-step explanation:

This would mean that (7x+3/4*[x-1])^2 You would perform x - 1 in the [] first, which is why they are in the extra brackets. The whole thing is squared, so it is all in parenthesis, being squared. It says 3/4 into x-1. This would mean it's multiplying into x-1.

How does tap enable transport proteins to move ions across a cell membrane?
Genrish500 [490]
<span>Since charged particles cannot move across the membrane easily due to them being hydrophobic, they require a transport protein that expends energy in the form of ATP. ATP attaches onto the transport protein which changes the shape of the protein allowing ions to flow in, and it leaves a phosphate group turning into ADP.When the molecule has crossed the membrane, the phosphate group is detached from the protein.</span>
