Question Number 180713 by Mastermind last updated on 16/Nov/22

Commented by Rasheed.Sindhi last updated on 16/Nov/22

b) & d) are same +4=4 (√(16)) =+4 or (√(16)) =4

$$\left.\mathrm{b}\left.\right)\:\:\&\:\:\:\mathrm{d}\right)\:{are}\:{same}\:+\mathrm{4}=\mathrm{4} \\ $$$$\sqrt{\mathrm{16}}\:=+\mathrm{4}\:{or}\:\sqrt{\mathrm{16}}\:=\mathrm{4} \\ $$

(√(16))=±4 ⇒ (√(√(16)))=(√(±4))= { ((±2)),((±2i)) :} ⇒ (√(√(√(256))))=? That′s not Mathematics but Weirdemathics

$$\sqrt{\mathrm{16}}=\pm\mathrm{4}\:\Rightarrow\:\sqrt{\sqrt{\mathrm{16}}}=\sqrt{\pm\mathrm{4}}=\begin{cases}{\pm\mathrm{2}}\\{\pm\mathrm{2i}}\end{cases} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{\mathrm{256}}}}=? \\ $$$$\mathrm{That}'\mathrm{s}\:\mathrm{not}\:\mathrm{Mathematics}\:\mathrm{but}\:\mathrm{Weirdemathics} \\ $$

What′s the correct answer, actually?

(√(16))=4

$$\sqrt{\mathrm{16}}=\mathrm{4} \\ $$

I have explained this several times before, it′s annoying... (√(16)) is a simple calculation. (√(16))=4 x^2 =16 is not a calculation, here we are searching all possible numbers x which give 16 when squared. x^2 =16 ⇒ x=±(√(16))=±4 as you can see the “±” is not coming from the root, it comes before the root x^2 =16 ⇒ x= { ((−(√(16))=−4)),((+(√(16))=+4=4)) :} if (√(16))=±4 ⇒ (√(16))+(√(16))= { ((−8)),(0),(8) :}

@ Mastermind, see also comment of sir MJS to Q#179064 If you have had read it you need not ask this question!!!

(√(16))=4 is correct

$$\:\:\:\:\:\sqrt{\mathrm{16}}=\mathrm{4}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{correct} \\ $$
