Can you double a square with a straightedge and a compass?

I'd say yes.  If you use the diagonal as a reference.  Take the square and set your compass to the width of the diameter of the square.  Now put it on the page and mark a point.  Put the point of the compass on that mark and make another mark.  Now you can connect the two marks with the straight edge and you have a line that, if you made a square with sides that long, it'd have 2x the area of the first one.  That's because the diagonal is the square root of 2 larger than one side.  Square the square root of 2 and you've got 2.  You lust need to make a perpendicular line to the first one to get the box going.

Graph + > -1.
andrew-mc [135]

You have the right idea but the endpoint is at the wrong location. Instead, the green dot should go at -1. The shading is to the right. We use a closed filled in circle here (instead of an open hole) to tell the reader "include the endpoint". So -1 is part of the solution set.

In short, the graph consists of a closed filled in circle at -1 with shading to the right. This visually describes all values that are larger than -1, or equal to -1.

What types of numbers are undefined when they are under a radical sign? If you were dealing with the number √-1, would it be def
Misha Larkins [42]
The square root of a a negative integer is imaginary.
It would still be a negative under a square root if you multiplied it by 2, therefor it will still be imaginary, or I’m assuming as your book calls it, undefined.
2•(sqrt-1) = 2sqrt-1

If you add a number to -1 itself, specifically 1 or greater it will become a positive number or 0 assuming you just add 1. In that case it would be defined.
-1 + 1 = 0
-1 + 2 = 1

If you add a number to the entire thing “sqrt-1” it will not be defined.
(sqrt-1) + 1 = 1+ (sqrt-1)

If you subtract a number it will still have a negative under a square root, meaning it would be undefined.
(sqrt-1) + 1 = 1 + (sqrt-1)

however if you subtract a negative number from -1 itself, you end up getting a positive number or zero. (Subtracting a negative number is adding because the negative signs cancel out).
-1 - -1 = 0
-1 - -2 = 1

If you squared it you would get -1, which is defined
sqrt-1 • sqrt-1 = -1

and if you cubed it, you would get a negative under a square root again, therefor it would be undefined.
sqrt-1 • sqrt-1 • sqrt-1 = -1 • sqrt-1 = -1(sqrt-1)

Sorry if this answer is confusing, I don’t have a scientific keyboard, I’ll get one soon.
