Answer:
The square root function
sqrt(144) or √144 produces a single positive value, 12.
However if you have an equation
x² = 144, then you have two possible values for x, 12 and -12.
Two ways to look at it.
x² - 144 = 0
Difference of two squares
(x+12)(x-12) = 0
x = -12, 12
x² = 144
x = ±√144
x = ±12
x = -12, 12

Answer:
$22.84
Step-by-step explanation:
The tax is calculated by 0.075 * 21.25 = 1.59375 or $1.59. So the total bill is the cost of items purchased plus tax, which is $21.25 + $1.59 = $22.84.
Answer:
12.
Square root = 37,
Step-by-step explanation:
40^2 = 1600
35^2 = 30 * 40 + 25 = 1225
So the requred square is between 35 and 40
38^2 = 1444
37^2 = 1369 - so its this one.
Required difference = 1381 - 1369 = 12.
