Re: If x does not equal 0, then square root of x^2/x =

Hello, I think I understand the explanation, but I still have one question... and my thinking is as follows:

If we have (square root of x^2)/x, couldn't we square the whole fraction to get x^2/x^2... and this would equal 1 (regardless of the value of "x")?

Thanks in advance!
