If (d^2=529) then what is the positive value of (d)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 23
Since the positive value of (d) is required, take the positive square root: (d=\sqrt{529}=23). Checking gives (23^2=529). Although (-23) also satisfies the equation, it is not positive. In an exam, choose the positive root when the question asks for the positive value.
