So i have a semester exam and i am super stressed out. i have a question that says to simplify the expression squareroot of 1/196

the square root of plain ol 196 is 14, so would the answer to this question be 1/14 or just 14? im confuzzled. please help. this is honors algebra lesson 2 semester exam

Answer 1

so I would say 1/14

or
-1/14
but you may not have covered the -1/14 part in class.

Answer 2

(1/14) * (1/14) = 1 / 196

Answer 3

when something times itself is it

then
something is the square root of it
of course - something also works

Answer 4

4 times 4 = 16

so
4 is the square root of 16
but
so is -4
because -4 * -4 = same old 16

Answer 5

Answer 8
