Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

When you square a number, you chose a number and multiplying itself. If you did the square root of 25, you would get 5. However if you divided 25 by 2, you would get 12.5 which is NOT the square root.

Answer:

No,  that is not what the definition of square root is.

Step-by-step explanation:

what \sqrt{25} means is that  \sqrt{25} = x  where  x * x = 25

It means find a number x such that  x times x equals 25.

In this case we know 5*5 = 25,   so we say 5 = \sqrt{25}

Please answer within 7 minutes !!
Gnesinka [82]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = by - 3/2

x + 3/2 = by

y = x/b + 3/(2b)

now compare this to the first equation :

y = 2x + 3

the system has infinite solutions, if both equations are actually identical.

and they are only identical, if b = 1/2

y = x/(1/2) + 3/(2 × 1/2) = 2x + 3

Fantastic Middle School is building a park, in the shape of a square, with an area of 256 square feet. How much fence do they ne
frez [133]
A = a^2.....where " a " is the size of 1 side
A = 256

256 = a^2...take sqrt of both sides, eliminating the ^2
sqrt 256 = a
16 = a

so each side is 16 ft....now we find the perimeter
P = 4a....where " a " is the size of each side
P = 4(16)
P =  64.......so they will need 64 ft of fencing <===
