This means that the number of perfect square will be every number from 1,000^2 to 3,000^2. To find how many numbers that is, just do 3000-1000 = 2000, and then subtract one because otherwise you would be counting the 3000^2 which you don't want to do (it asks how many perfect squares are between the two numbers).
<span>No because a negative times a negative will be positive and it will not equal a negative number. the square root cannot be one negative and one positive because that is against the definition of a square root. </span>
