In the practice questions! I think it's in the third practice question that I found this!
Estimate √{60} ≈
Step 1. 7 ×7 = 49
Step 2. 48 ×8 = 64 <---------------Mistake or error? Isn't this suppose to be 8 x 8 which equals 64? And this is closer to (60) answer than 49??? Not 48 x 8 which equals of course (384)
Answer √{60} ≈ 8

So whenever we encounter an equation involving a negative infront of the number being squared, the negative only applies to final outcome, but not in the actual equation?
ex. -5squared= 5x5=25, then i would bring in the negative making it -25?
and i wouldnt do: -5x-5 (for the equation of above) making the anwser positive. =25
