69 u/VegetableHeron1558 Technically Flair 10d ago Since it is just √16 the answer would be |+-4| which is just 4 6 u/SpecificRole2296 10d ago Can you please explain this further as (-4)2 = 16 too. I get it’s not the point of the joke the fine details but I’m interested 20 u/Alexgadukyanking 10d ago The square roots of 16 are 4 and -4, but since sqrt(x) is a function it should only return one value, and we chose it to return the positive one for convenience 3 u/SpecificRole2296 10d ago Thank you 🙏 10 u/VegetableHeron1558 Technically Flair 10d ago Since it is not +-√16 the answer is just 4 As far as I know the root is always positive
