1. What is a Square Root Calculator with Variables?

Definition: This calculator solves equations of the form √(a × x²) by simplifying them to x√a.

Purpose: It helps students and professionals quickly solve algebraic equations involving square roots and variables.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the mathematical identity:

Where:

• \( a \) — Non-negative coefficient under the square root
• \( x \) — Variable multiplier (can be positive or negative)
• \( \sqrt{a} \) — Square root of coefficient a

Explanation: The calculator extracts x from under the square root and multiplies it by the square root of a.

3. Importance of Square Root Calculations

Details: These calculations are fundamental in algebra, physics, engineering, and many scientific applications where root-mean-square values are needed.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter any positive value for a (coefficient under the root) and any real number for x (variable). The coefficient must be ≥ 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why must 'a' be non-negative?
A: Because square roots of negative numbers are not real numbers (they're complex numbers).

Q2: What if x is negative?
A: The calculator will still work correctly, as x² makes the term positive before taking the root.

Q3: How precise are the results?
A: Results are calculated to high precision and displayed to 3 decimal places.

Q4: Can this solve other root equations?
A: No, this specifically solves equations of the form √(a × x²). For other forms, different calculators are needed.

Q5: What's the practical application of this?
A: This is used in physics equations, statistical calculations, and whenever you need to simplify expressions with squared variables under roots.
