The square roots of any positive real number are a positive and a negative real number. The square roots of any negative real number are a positive and a negative imaginary number. The square roots of any imaginary number or any complex number are two complex numbers.
no. Because square of zero is neither positive nor negative.
The square root of any positive, non-square number will be both real and irrational.
If you square any real number it will always be positive.
The square root of a positive number results in a positive number. For example, the square root of 25 is 5. * * * * * Not true! There are two real square roots for every positive number: one positive and one negative. -5 is as much a square root of 25 as +5 is. However, the positive root is the principal root and so is often presented as the only root.
When you square a real number the answer is positive,
For the same reason that the square root of ANY negative number is not a real number.Real numbers are positive, negative, or zero. * The square of a positive number is a positive number. * The square of a negative number is a positive number. * The square of zero is zero. In other words, in no case will you get a REAL number whose square is a negative number. The square roots of negative numbers are said to be "imaginary" - a name given for historical reasons. They are just as "real" or "unreal" as the so-called real numbers, but the point is that they are a different kind of numbers.
The square roots of any positive real number are a positive and a negative real number. The square roots of any negative real number are a positive and a negative imaginary number. The square roots of any imaginary number or any complex number are two complex numbers.
no. Because square of zero is neither positive nor negative.
The square root of a real number is not always positive. The square root of any positive number is positive, the square root of zero is zero (not positive), and the square root of a negative number is complex (i.e. neither positive nor negative). The square root of 16 = -4 or 4. The square root of 0 = 0 The square root of -16 = -4i or 4i
Yes. It's 9. The square root of every positive real number is a real number.
The square of a real number is always positive no matter which real number you start with. Therefore, a negative number squared is positive. For example: 2 * 2 = 4, -2 * -2 = 4.
The square root of any positive, non-square number will be both real and irrational.

Any real number, when squared will give a positive real number. This is true weather you have a negative real number and square it, or positive. The concept of imaginary numbers was invented to handle equations which needed to use the square root of a negative number, in order to solve them.At first, they were not considered useful beyond this, so they were named imaginary numbers. Through the work of Euler and others, it became evident that imaginary and complex numbers could be useful, especially when analyzing waves, such as electrical waveforms.
They are called real numbers. Negative square roots must be complex numbers.
