minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•1 month agoSeems very inaccurate the we can only determine the square root to ±10.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish-1•2 months 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.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish-1•2 months agoso you came up with your own term to cover your mistake?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 month agoNope, everything they said is well established and correct
minus-squareJackbyDevlinkEnglish2•1 month agoNo, I was being pedantic to appease the pedantic assholes.
Okay, fine the square roots of 100 are ±10.
Seems very inaccurate the we can only determine the square root to ±10.
That’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.

so you came up with your own term to cover your mistake?
Nope, everything they said is well established and correct
Oops, my bad
No, I was being pedantic to appease the pedantic assholes.
