Second Root of 400
In this section we provide you with important additional information about the topic of this post:
The term can be written as ²√400 or 400^1/2.
As the index 2 is even and 400 is greater than 0, 400 has two real square roots:
²√400, which is positive and called principal square root of 400, and -²√400 which is negative.
Together, they are denominated as
Although the principal square root of four hundred is only one of the two square roots, the term “square root of 400” usually refers to the positive number, that is the principal square root.
