Square root of 99.
When someone asks you to explain a square root, you can just tell that it is a number when multiplied by itself produces the same number. As we continue with our explanation, let’s assume the value of 99 Here 99 is considered as a non-perfect square root since it contain either decimal or fraction. Let's learn more about square roots in this article.
What is the square root of 99?
The square root of 99 can be easily found out by using long division method. In which it is discovered that the cumulative approximation of √99 is 9.949.
Finding the square root of 99.
There are many ways through which students can find square roots, and some of these methods are very popular. Some of the methods have been explained in detail below.
Square root of 99 using the prime factorization method.
In this method, we decompose the number into its prime factors.
Prime factorization of 99: 99=3×3×11.
Since not all prime factors can be paired, 99 cannot be simplified into a perfect square. Therefore, the square root of 99 cannot be expressed in a simple radical form.
Square root of 99 using the division method.
For non-perfect squares, we often use the nearest perfect square to estimate the square root. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Write the number 99 to perform long division.
Step 2: Identify a perfect square number that is less than or equal to 99. For 99, that number is 81 (since 92=81).
Step 3: Divide 99 by 9. The remainder will be 18, and the quotient will be 9.
Step 4: Bring down the remainder (18) and append two zeros. Add a decimal point to the quotient, making it 9.0.
Step 5: Double the quotient to use as the new divisor, which gives 18.
Step 6: Select a number that, when multiplied by the new divisor, results in a product less than or equal to 1800.
Step 7: Continue the division process to find √99 to the desired decimal places. → √99 ≈ 9.949.
Square root of 99 using the approximation method
In the approximation method, we estimate the square root by identifying the closest perfect squares surrounding the number.
Step 1: The nearest perfect squares to 99 are √100 = 10 and √81 = 9.
Step 2: Since 99 is between 100 and 81, we know the square root will be between 10 and 9.
Step 3: By testing numbers like 9.8, 9.9, and further, we find that √99 ≈ 9.949.
Common mistakes when finding the square root of 99.
Here are some common mistakes students should avoid while learning to calculate the square root of 99.
Mistake 1
Confusing Square Roots with Cubes
It's a pretty common mistake where students get confused between square and cube root, one must remember that square root is represented as (√) and cube root is represented as (∛).
Square root of 99 Example
Problem 1
If x²= 121, what is x
x= ±11
Explanation
Solving x2= 121 gives two possible solutions, x= 11, because both values squared result in 121.
Problem 2
Simplify 6√32 – 4√32.
→ Factor √32
6√32 – 4√32
= √32(6-4)
= 2×5.657
= 11.314
Explanation
Simplification of √32= 5.657, now if you subtract the 5 from 9 and multiply it by 5.657 we get 11.314.
Problem 3
What is the square root of a negative number like √-64.
→The square root of √-64 is 8i
Explanation
Since √-64= √-64 × √-1, where √-1= i (i is an imaginary number). Hence, the square root of √-64 is 8i.
