\nGraphing calculators make finding square roots simple and fast. Whether you're working on algebra homework or solving complex equations, knowing how to use the square root function is essential.
\n \nHow Square Roots Work
\nThe square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number. For example, the square root of 16 is 4 because 4 × 4 = 16.
