Doesn’t x also -3?

Uhm, actually 🤓☝️!
Afaik sqrt only returns positive numbers, but if you’re searching for X you should do more logic, as both -3 and 3 squared is 9, but sqrt(9) is just 3.
If I’m wrong please correct me, caz I don’t really know how to properly write this down in a proof, so I might be wrong here. :p

You’re correct. The square root operator only returns the principal root (basically, the positive one).
So if x ^2^ = 9 then x = ±√9 = ±3

Thanks, I haven’t connected the dots to that (±) sign and this problem.

|x| = sqrt(…)
would be correct.

Cool! Makes sense to me. Honestly, I’ve never done it this way, but it’s so clean. Love it. Thanks.
