Which statement below about roots is false. Immersive Reader (5 Points) Simplified radicals have a positive and a negative root. A radicand is the symbol used when working with roots. Exponents and Roots are inverses Roots can be squared, cubed, quadrupled. Or more.

Statement (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Which statement below about roots is false?

Let's arrange the statements by assigning option-letters a, b, c, d to them.

(A) Simplified radicals have a positive and a negative root.

This is true, as the root of any number is either a positive or a negative; especially if the rooting index is an even number like 2 or 4. For example, the square root (when the index is 2) of 9 is either +3 or -3. To check, find their squares. +3 x +3 = 9 and -3 x -3 = 9.

(B) A radicand is the symbol used when working with roots.

This statement is false, as the name for the symbol used in root operations is "radical symbol". A radicand is the number or expression whose roots are about to be found. It is the expression that lies under or inside the radical symbol!

(C) Exponents and Roots are inverses.

Exponents are the powers to which mathematical expressions are raised. Roots are the indexes by which mathematical expressions are divided. Exponents are hence the opposites or inverses of roots.

(D) Roots can be squared, cubed, quadrupled, or raised to higher powers.

Yes! The root of a mathematical expression or figure can be raised to any number or power, be it 2 (square), 3 (cube), 4 (quadruple), 5 (quintuple) or 100 (cent).
