Square Root and Cube Root 1 to 30
Importance : Questions based on square roots and cube roots are mainly asked with the questions of simplification and number system.
Scope of questions : Questions may be basic(totally numeric) or applied.
Way to success : Learning Formulae and squares/square roots/cube roots of different number is very useful.
Some important Points (On Square Roots) :
If a number n is multiplied with itself, then product n2 is called the Square of n and here n is called the Square root of n2.
If a number has x digits, then its square has (2x-1) digits.
Number is 12, Square is 144
∴ Number of digit in 144 is 2 X 2 – 1 = 3
If we square any number, then 2,3,7 and 8 will never come at unit place of square.
The square root of a negative number is always imaginary.
Square of two-digit number whose unit place digit is 5 can be obtained as.
(25)2 = 2 X 3 (Hundred) +52 = 2 X 300 + 25 = 625
or,
(35)2 = 3 X 4 (Hundred) + 52 = 3 X 400 + 25 = 1225
or,
(45)2 = 4 X 5 (Hundred) + 52 = 4 X 500 + 25 = 2025
There are two methods of calculating square root.
(i) Factor method
(ii) Division method
(i) Factor method : Square root of 44100
∴ 44100 = 2 X 2 X 3 X 3 X 5 X 5 X 7 X 7
$$ ∴\sqrt { 44100 } =\quad \sqrt { { 2 }^{ 2 }\times { 3 }^{ 2 }\times { 5 }^{ 2 }\times { 7 }^{ 2 } } $$
=2 X 3 X 5 X 7 = 210
(ii) Division method : Square root of 455625
$$=\sqrt { 455625 } =\quad 675$$
Special Rules :
$$(i)\quad { \left( ab \right) }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } }=\sqrt { ab } =\sqrt { a } \times \sqrt { b } ={ \left( a \right) }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } }\times { \left( b \right) }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } }$$
$$(ii)\quad { \left( \frac { a }{ b } \right) }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } }=\frac { { \left( a \right) }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } } }{ { \left( b \right) }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } } } =\frac { \sqrt { a } }{ \sqrt { b } } =\sqrt { \frac { a }{ b } } $$
If the unit digit of a number is 1, then unit digit of its square root is 1 or 9 such as
$$\sqrt { 81 } =\quad 9\quad or,\quad \sqrt { 441 } =\quad 21$$
If the unit digit of any number is 4, then the unit digit of its square roots is 2 or 8. Such as
$$\sqrt { 64 } =\quad 8\quad or,\quad \sqrt { 144 } =\quad 12$$
If the unit digit of any number is 5 or 00(double zero), then the unit digit of its square is 5 or 0.
$$As,\sqrt { 625 } =\quad 25\quad or,\quad \sqrt { 100 } =\quad 10$$

Some Important Points (On Cube Root) :
If a number n is multiplies by itself 3 times, then n3 is called the cube the cube of n and here n is called the cube root of n3 .
Cube roots can be calculated only by factor method.
If in any number 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or 9 are at unit place, then 0,1,8,7,4,5,6,3,2 or 9 respectively will be unit place of their cube root.
Note that if unit place of nay number is 0,1,4,5,6 or 9 , then unit place of the cube or cube root of this number will be the same as in original number.
To calculate cubic root of 3375.
3375 = 3 X 3 X 3 X 5 X 5 X 5
$$∴\quad \sqrt [ 3 ]{ 3375 } =\sqrt [ 3 ]{ { 3 }^{ 3 }\times { 5 }^{ 3 } } =\quad 3\times 5\quad =\quad 15$$
$$If\quad \sqrt [ 3 ]{ x } =b\quad then\quad { x }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 3 } }=b$$
$$\Rightarrow \quad \log { { x }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 3 } } } =\quad logb$$
$$\Rightarrow \quad \frac { 1 }{ 3 } \log { { x } } =\quad logb$$
$$∴\quad b = antilog(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \log { x } )$$
