Definition of the square root

In general, there are two different numbers whose squares agree with the given number. For example \(\displaystyle (-3)^2=(-3)\cdot (-3)=9 \) gets the same result as \(\displaystyle 3^2=3\cdot 3=9 \).

When calculating with real numbers, only the square root of non-negative numbers can be taken. The result is always positive.
