What is the principal or(postive)square root of a number N

Mathematics
1 answer:
Margaret [11]4 years ago

The square root of number n is a number, r, that when squared equals n.
Each positive number has two square roots, a positive one and a negative one. The principal square root of a positive number is the positive square root.

For example, this of n = 4.
There are two numbers, r, that when squared equal 4.
The are 2 and -2, since 2^2 = 4 and (-2)^2 = 4.
4 has two square roots, a positive one and a negative one.
The positive square root, 2, is the principal square root of 4.

The symbol for the principal square root is the square root symbol.

\sqrt{4}

means the principal square root of 4, which is 2.

If you mean the negative square root of 4, which is -2, then you must write a negative sign before the square root symbol.

-\sqrt{4}

means the negative square root of 4 which is -2.

Kenny wants to learn how to serve overhand in volleyball. When he practiced yesterday, he made 7 serves over the net for every 2
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer: 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Kenny made 7 serves over the net for every 2 serves that did not go over the net i.e. success rate of Kenny is

\Rightarrow \text{success rate}=\dfrac{7}{2+7}\times 100=\dfrac{700}{9}\%

for 36 serves, applying the same success rate, it is

\Rightarrow \text{success rate}=\dfrac{700}{9}\times\dfrac{1}{100}\times 36=28

Serves that did not make over the net is 36-28=8

Thus, Kenny will make 28 serves that make over the net

What are the input and output value for determining the sine of 60?
inna [77]
<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />
  • The input of a function is also called the domain and are those x-values for which the function is defined.

  • The output of a function is also called the range and are those y-values for which the function is defined.

Here we have the following function:

y=f(x)=sin(x)

And we know that:

Input:

\boxed{x=60^{\circ}}

Output:

y=sin(60^{\circ}) \\ \\ \therefore \boxed{y=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{{2}}}
