minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink10•2 days agoI am like not really well informed about this but wasn’t the square root symbol thingy (√ <- this one) always set to give the positive root? And the power of 1/2 would give both the positive and negative?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink6•2 days agoYes, it is positive, and power 1/2 is, too. Two solutions emerge from solving equations, even primitive ones, like x^2 = C.
