  2. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...

  3. Square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root

    The square root of a positive integer is the product of the roots of its prime factors, because the square root of a product is the product of the square roots of the factors. Since p 2 k = p k , {\textstyle {\sqrt {p^{2k}}}=p^{k},} only roots of those primes having an odd power in the factorization are necessary.

  4. Square root of a matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root_of_a_matrix

    A matrix B is said to be a square root of A if the matrix product BB is equal to A. [1] Some authors use the name square root or the notation A 1/2 only for the specific case when A is positive semidefinite, to denote the unique matrix B that is positive semidefinite and such that BB = B T B = A (for real-valued matrices, where B T is the ...

    The graph =. A square root of a number x is a number r which, when squared, becomes x: =. Every positive real number has two square roots, one positive and one ...

  6. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    The process of simplifying expressions involving the square root of an expression involving the square root of another expression involves finding the two solutions of a quadratic equation. Descartes' theorem states that for every four kissing (mutually tangent) circles, their radii satisfy a particular quadratic equation.

  7. Root mean square - Wikipedia

    The roots of the quadratic function y = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ x 2 − 3x + ⁠ 5 / 2 ⁠ are the places where the graph intersects the x-axis, the values x = 1 and x = 5.They can be found via the quadratic formula.

  9. Quartic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_function

    It is a consequence of the first two equations that r 1 + r 2 is a square root of α and that r 3 + r 4 is the other square root of α. For the same reason, r 1 + r 3 is a square root of β, r 2 + r 4 is the other square root of β, r 1 + r 4 is a square root of γ, r 2 + r 3 is the other square root of γ. Therefore, the numbers r 1, r 2, r 3 ...
