    Theorem — The number of strictly positive roots (counting multiplicity) of is equal to the number of sign changes in the coefficients of , minus a nonnegative even number. If b 0 > 0 {\displaystyle b_{0}>0} , then we can divide the polynomial by x b 0 {\displaystyle x^{b_{0}}} , which would not change its number of strictly positive roots.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root

    Notation for the (principal) square root of x. For example, √ 25 = 5, since 25 = 5 ⋅ 5, or 5 2 (5 squared). In mathematics, a square root of a number x is a number y such that =; in other words, a number y whose square (the result of multiplying the number by itself, or ) is x. [1]

    In mathematics, the radical symbol, radical sign, root symbol, or surd is a symbol for the square root or higher-order root of a number. The square root of a number x is written as x , {\displaystyle {\sqrt {x}},}

  9. Mathematical constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_constant

    The square root of 2 is equal to the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle with legs of length 1.. The square root of 2, often known as root 2 or Pythagoras' constant, and written as √ 2, is the unique positive real number that, when multiplied by itself, gives the number 2.
