OK. Here we go:
What is the square root of 9 ?
You would say that 3 is, and you're correct.
But that's NOT the <em>only one</em> there is !
What about -3 ?
What do you get when you multiply (-3) times (-3) ?
(Remember that when the signs of both numbers are <em>the same</em>,
the answer is positive.)
(-3) times (-3) = 9
So -3 is <em>also</em> the square root of 9 .
That's right . . . every number has <em>two</em> square roots. They're both the
same number, but one is positive, and one is negative. When you
multiply <em>either one</em> of them by itself, you get the original number.
Another way to say the same thing is:
Every number has one positive square root and one negative square root,
and except for the signs, they're both the same number.
The percent error of Shirley's estimate is 21.74%
<h3>Calculating pecent error</h3>
Given the following parameters
- Actual length = 23 inches
- Estimated length = 18in
% error = actual-estimated/actual * 100
% error = 23-18/23 * 100
% error = 500/23
% error = 21.74%
Hence the percent error of Shirley's estimate is 21.74%
