Recall

Squares, cubes and numerical roots — objective 1

Maths4U Original · Short practice

Let \(\displaystyle a=10\) and \(\displaystyle b=7\). Apply the stated brackets and root conventions.

Calculate \(\displaystyle a^{2}\).

Enter one exact number or fraction unless the question specifies rounding. If it asks for a coefficient of π, enter that coefficient only. Give full reasoning separately for written problems.
