square root of 2

The square root of 2 (approximately 1.4142) is a positive real number that, when multiplied by itself, equals the number 2. It may be written in mathematics as ${\\displaystyle {\\sqrt {2}}}$ or ${\\displaystyle 2^{1/2}}$ . It is an algebraic number, and therefore not a transcendental number. Technically, it should be called the principal square root of 2, to distinguish it from the negative number with the same property.
