Second Root of 120
In this section we provide you with important additional information about the topic of this post:
The term can be written as ²√120 or 120^1/2.
As the index 2 is even and 120 is greater than 0, 120 has two real square roots:
²√120, which is positive and called principal square root of 120, and -²√120 which is negative.
Together, they are denominated as
Although the principal square root of one hundred twenty is only one of the two square roots, the term “square root of 120” usually refers to the positive number, that is the principal square root.
