minus-squareEheran@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoSeems very inaccurate the we can only determine the square root to ±10.
minus-squaresevenapples@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down3·2 years agoThat’s not how the square root is defined. You’re confusing “square root of 100” with “the answer to x^2 = 100”. These are different things.
