Yes, but they are imaginary - but are needed in many mathematical calculations. The square root of negative 1 is indicated as the letter "i".

∙ 12y agoNothing. You cannot have a square root of a negative number. The square root of negative one is called i, but i is an imaginary number. It does not exist and does not follow the properties of real numbers. (For example, if a and b are positive, then the square root of a times the square root of b is the square root of ab. But the square root of -7 is not the square root of 7 times i.)
No, it is not, because real numbers include negative numbers. The square root of a negative number is an imaginary number
imaginary numbers are numbers that are a negative square root, which is not possoble therefor it is called and imaginary number. ex the square root of -24 is an imaginary number
That's the same as the square root of positive 340, times i. Many calculators can't calculate the square root of negative numbers, since they are not set up to calculate with complex numbers, but you can simply calculate the square root of the equivalent positive number, then add "i" to the result.
A square root is not a number system. Square roots of non-negative numbers may be rational or irrational, but they all belong to the set of real numbers. The square roots of negative numbers do not. To include them, the number system needs to be extended to the complex numbers.
Square roots of negative numbers are what are called imaginary numbers. The building block of imaginary numbers is the symbol i which is defined as the square root of negative 1. The square root of other negative numbers can be expressed using i. For example, the square root of negative sixteen is 4i, the square root of negative nine is 3i and so on.
Negative numbers do not have "real number" square roots.However, they will have two roots (when using imaginary numbers) as do other numbers, where a root including i(square root of -1) is positive or negative.
Neither. All irrational numbers are real numbers.Using the real number system you can't take the square root of a negative number, but if you're dealing with imaginary numbers then the square root of negative 3 is the square root of 3i

No, it is not irrational because it is a square root of a negative number - which falls into the set of Complex numbers. Irrational numbers can not have an imaginary component.

No. Negative numbers are real but their square roots are not.
The square root of negative forty-nine (-49) has no value over real numbers. However, over complex numbers, the square root of -49 is ±7i, where "i" is the imaginary unit, which i2 = -1.
no, every number is a real number --- There are numbers that are not real numbers. They are called imaginary numbers, and have the property that when they are squared, the result is negative. The square root of -1 is called i, and the square root of any other negative number is i times the square root of the absolute value of the number. So the square root of -4 is 2i.
You can, if you consider complex numbers.
no,a negative number cannot have a square root .it is made only for positive numbers .but,yes,negative numbers can be squared.
imaginary numbers are numbers that are a negative square root, which is not possoble therefor it is called and imaginary number. ex the square root of -24 is an imaginary number
