<h3>Answers:</h3>
  • What is that positive integer?  400
  • What is the value of the positive root?  20
  • What is the value of the negative root?  -20

=======================================================

Explanation:

Let x be the unknown positive integer.

The square roots of x are \sqrt{x} and -\sqrt{x}, representing the positive and negative square roots respectively.

Taking the difference of those means we subtract:

\text{PositiveRoot}-\text{NegativeRoot} = \sqrt{x} - (-\sqrt{x}) = \sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x} = 2\sqrt{x}

Set that equal to 40 and solve for x

2\sqrt{x} = 40\\\\\sqrt{x} = 40/2\\\\\sqrt{x} = 20\\\\x = 20^2\\\\x = 400

Therefore, the integer we're after is 400.

The positive square root of such is \sqrt{x} = \sqrt{400} = \sqrt{20^2} = 20

And the negative square root is -\sqrt{x} = -\sqrt{400} = -\sqrt{20^2} = -20

The difference of which is:

(Positive Root) - (Negative Root) = 20-(-20) = 20+20 = 40

This helps confirm the answers.
