What is the square root of 16?
Correct answer: 4

I understand square root but this explanation lost me!

I read what u said over and over again and still didn't understand, but I tried.

I suck at math, I needed a tutor in order to pass my math classes to graduate.

Huh? (Eyes glazing over...)

they could have just wrote: square root is the value of a number that multiplies by itself 🤦♀️

Actually, I use algebra quite often. If you don't understand it, it's not a tool you can use, but its hard to understand that lack if you do. In either case though it would be best to acquire skills rather than simply blame the skill.

palitja, It is poorly written. For example, in the expression "32=3x3", it
should be 3 with superscript 2. Then it would read 3 to the power 2. etc.

Poorly worded explanation

Player #4534077 Jas, thanks! No wonder I couldn't understand it! I knew the answer, but the explanation baffled me.

This explanation’s made it so confusing and hard to understand

I just tried to use logic and assumed 4 to be the answer. 4×4 =16
Player #78903163
palitja, I belive the 42 and 32 is supposed to be 4 squared and 3 squared. I agree this is a very jumbled explanation. I understand math.

My 5th grade math class could explain it more clearly and accurately than that.
Player #62752956
palitja, lol the answer is poorly written and more importantly, numbers in the explanation that should be exponents (e.g. 3^2 =9, not 32) are written as regular digits.

palitja, the explanation did confuse people, simply because the superscript is not used in this explanation. In fact, in the column of "explanation" when the author creates a question, super- or sub-scription is not allowed. In this case, the author should have used the symbol of circumflex ^. For exemple, 4^2 =4 x 4=16. Alternatively, the description by using text can be used, for exemple, 4^2 can be described as "4 to the power of 2". Obviously, those who are in charge of proofreading before publishing such question did not do their job at all

I got the correct answer quickly. but the explanation lost my brain 😅

don't even understand the explanation.

If you don't know how to solve the square root, it will be really difficult for you to solve especially the quadratic equation and Algebra
Floraxcent
Sometimes, I really don't know why it's necessary to make math difficult, especially in everyday life, but if you're a math teacher, it's really necessary.

palitja, I didn't bother to read. 😅😅

I don't know how to solve this.

MILZD2KAY,
Very good explanation.

toadicusrex, I've known doctors and engineers who were impressed that I could do simple arithmetic in my head.

palitja I feel you😅
savta
an exhaustive if too complex explanation for most of us non-mathematicians!
Bushra 🖤
it was the easiest one

lobely question
wileycoyote
I guess this explanation is erroneous.
heywassup
no , its is definetely 126
Player Vic
Hard to understand the explanation,?!???!
Sully Girl
is it just me or is this a major complication of a simple concept ?
Player #25874027
palitja, I think part of the issue is putting 42 as 4 squared, and same with 32 . Their keyboard obviously doesn’t support maths
Player #25667241
palitja, it's 4 power 2 instead of 42 and 3 power 2 instead of 32
PeopleEater
I wonder why would anyone choose 32 or 256
Player #me!
I know and understand the math of square root. This explanation is not well written out or even clear. It can be simplified to make sense. It's unnecessarily complicated.

Delta_Fox56, Cozzy 25,
Same here! I too needed a tutor for the HSC! 😎

palitja, Cozzy 25,
Same here! I knew the answer but not the explanation! 😎
Fun guy
answer could be 4 or -4 ..
