If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I am like not really well informed about this but wasn't the square root symbol thingy (√ <- this one) always set to give the positive root? And the power of 1/2 would give both the positive and negative?
Yes, it is positive, and power 1/2 is, too. Two solutions emerge from solving equations, even primitive ones, like x^2 = C.
I had to look it up and it looks like you're right. If only my teacher had spent any effort at all explaining that.
