    Default quick maths question

    on the radio today a maths homework question they had to answer was:

    sqrt(9.x)

    my answer after too much thinking is:

    3.sqrt(x)

    right??

    if the 9.x is actually "9 times x" then yes otherwise no.

    Sqrt is simply a value to the power of 0.5

    If the 9.x is a decimal number (unlikely) then this would not be right.
