Excuse me.  I'm going to vent.  [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]], you are completely wrong.  As in, no ideology needed.  The square root of 9 ''is'' plus or minus 3.  The equation shown expresses that clearly.  When a square root is taken, the plus or minus becomes required in order to keep track of multiple possible solutions.  Unfortunately, the last math text I kept was my calculus book, so I don't have a ready cite from a high school algebra text.  I can't think of any "polite" ways to say that you don't understand what you are talking about.  perhaps when I struggle to remember the steps in completing the square and post it on one of these math files, you'll see why it matters.
