The Square Root of 4 to a Million Places

Product Information

In some situations, you don't need to know the exact result of the square root. If this is the case, our square root calculator is the best option to estimate the value of every square root you desire. For example, let's say you want to know whether 4√5 is greater than 9. From the calculator, you know that √5 ≈ 2.23607, so 4√5 ≈ 4 × 2.23607 = 8.94428. It is very close to the 9, but it isn't greater than it! The square root calculator gives the final value with relatively high accuracy (to five digits in the above example).

Can you simplify √15? Factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15. There are no perfect squares in those numbers, so this square root can't be simplified. How can you use this knowledge? The argument of a square root is usually not a perfect square you can easily calculate, but it may contain a perfect square among its factors. In other words, you can write it as a multiplication of two numbers, where one of the numbers is the perfect square, e.g., 45 = 9 × 5 (9 is a perfect square). The requirement of having at least one factor that is a perfect square is necessary to simplify the square root. At this point, you should probably know what the next step will be. You need to put this multiplication under the square root. In our example: What about square roots of fractions? Take a look at the previous section where we wrote about dividing square roots. You can find there the following relation that should explain everything:The derivative of the general function f(x) is not always easy to calculate. However, in some circumstances, if the function takes a specific form, we've got some formulas. For example, if

where ⟺ is a mathematical symbol that means if and only if. Each positive real number always has two square roots – the first is positive, and the second is negative. However, for many practical purposes, we usually use the positive one. The only number that has one square root is zero. It is because √0 = 0, and zero is neither positive nor negative. The derivative of a square root is needed to obtain the coefficients in the so-called Taylor expansion. We don't want to dive into details too deeply, so briefly, the Taylor series allows you to approximate various functions with the polynomials that are much easier to calculate. For example, the Taylor expansion of √(1 + x) about the point x = 0 is given by: Adding square roots is very similar to this. The result of adding √2 + √3 is still √2 + √3. You can't simplify it further. It is a different situation, however, when both square roots have the same number under the root symbol. Then we can add them just as regular numbers (or triangles). For example, 3√2 + 5√2 equals 8√2. The same thing is true for subtracting square roots. Let's take a look at more examples illustrating this square root property:Many scholars believe that square roots originate from the letter "r" - the first letter of the Latin word radix meaning root.
