Formula Explained

The square root of a number x is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives x. To solve for x in the equation √x = y, you can use the following formula:

x = y²

This formula is derived from the definition of square roots. Squaring both sides of the equation √x = y gives x = y².

Note: This formula assumes that y is a real number. For complex numbers, the solution would involve imaginary numbers.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Solving √x = 5

Using the formula x = y²:

x = 5² = 25

So, x = 25 when √x = 5.

Example 2: Solving √x = 3.7

Using the formula x = y²:

x = 3.7² = 13.69

So, x ≈ 13.69 when √x = 3.7.

Frequently Asked Questions
