Exercise 6 Page 374

Think of a number that when raised to the second power results in 64.

- 8 and 8

Practice makes perfect
We want to find both square roots of 64. ± sqrt(64)We need to think of a number that when raised to the second power results in 64. This number is 8.
(8)^2
64 âś“
With this information, we can say that the square roots of 64 are ± 8, which can be also written as - 8 and 8. ± sqrt(64) = ± 8
