Hello,
I was just wondering if there is a special notation for a principal square root...
I suppose using absolute value would work..
[tex]\left|\sqrt{9}\right|=+3[/tex]
But it doesn't seem as fitting as an actual special square root symbol. Maybe something like this?
[tex]\sqrt[+]{9}=+3[/tex]
Also, [tex]+\sqrt{x}[/tex] could be ambiguous since it could mean [tex]+(\pm\sqrt{x})[/tex]
