If you have the Square Root of 2 and you multiply it by the Square Root of 2, what do you get?

I'm stuck between 2 x Square Root of 2, Square Root of 4, and Square Root of 2.

The book doesn't tell me how to multiply these very clearly. :(

Question 1
√2 x √2 = 2

Question 2
Not sure what you mean.
Will guess at:-
(2 √2) x √4 x √2
2 x (√2 x √2) x √4
2 x 2 x 2
8

2^1/2 (two raised to the power of a half root, or the square root) is 1.4142135623730950488016887242097. Let's call it 1.414. Two times that is 2.828. But 1.4142 times 1.4142 equals two.

To generalize: a number times the same number yields a result. The square root of that result is the number. The square root of 4 is 2, 2*2 = 4. The square root of 100 is 10; 10*10 = 100.

To put it another way:
2^1/2 * 2^1/2
when multiplying numbers with exponents the exponents add. So 1/2 + 1/2 = 1, thus giving 2^1. Anything to the first power is itself. If you take 2^1 * 2^1 and use the same exponent rule, you get 1 + 1 = 2, or 2^2 = 4. 2^1 * 2^2 has 1 + 2 = 3, or 2^3 = 8.

Does that help? Or confuse you further?

The square root of two multiplied by the square root of two is the same as the square root of four. The final answer would be two.

Alright, nice job so far. But remember our number 1 goal: isolate the variable. So, let's look at the first half of the equation. 49x^2 We can also write it like this: (49) x^2 Since it is now clear that x^2 is being multiplied by 49, to undo the multiplication, we need to divide both sides by 49: x^2= about 1.306... To be more accurate, though, we would write it like this: x^2=1 15/64 Now, all we need to do is isolate the variable (x) by finding its square root. And while we're at it, we'll do the same to the other side: x= about 1.14 Hope this helps!!!!!

if you times the square root of n by the square root of n then you get n
(n being one particular value)
for example: square root of 64 is 8. 8x8=64.

sqrt x ^2 = x
u can always use calculator to find the square root of 2 (1.4 soemthing) and multiply thme

sqrt2*sqrt2=sqrt(2*2)=sqrt(4)=2

2*sqrt2*sqrt4*sqrt2=2*sqrt 2*4*2=2*sqrt16=2*4=8
(Sorry if I misinterpreted, I thought that last square root of 2 was supposed to be in there as well)

sqrt(2)*sqrt(2)=2
2*sqrt = 2sqrt(2) we usually leave it like this
sqrt of 4 is positive and negative 2
sqrt of 2 is just sqrt(2)
