One of the square roots of a positive number is positive. What is the other one?
- positive
- negative
- positive or negative.
Explanation from PART66Online
Every positive number has two square roots that are equal in size but opposite in sign, because squaring a negative number also gives a positive result. If one root is positive, the other must be its negative counterpart. For example the roots of 9 are +3 and -3.
