The answer depends on the level that you are at. Since you are asking the question, you are not advanced enough to know about complex numbers. So the answer is as follows:
When you take the square root of a non-negative number you will get a real number. In fact, if you start with a positive number you will get two real numbers - one positive and one negative.
For example, sqrt(0.25) = -0.5 and +0.5
Of course, not only can it be a real number but it is a real number. When you take the square root times itself, the result is a number that is real.
The square root of a negative number is considered an imaginary number, denoted as "i". In this case, the square root of -3 would be √(-3) = √3 * i. Therefore, the square root of -3 is not a real number, as real numbers are those that can be represented on the number line without involving "i".
You can't take the square root of a negative number. The square root of -25 is 5i. It's an imaginary number.
The square root of -1 is not a real number like -2.5, 0, or 5. Instead, it is and imaginary number, i, and i = the square root of -1. The answer is imaginary because you can never take a real number, square it, and get a negative number. However, i^2 = -1.
When you multiply any number by itself, the result is always positive. You cannot take any real number and square it to get something negative. The square root of -36 is 6i.

When dealing with real numbers, you cannot take the square root of a negative number. The concept of the imaginary number was created to handle the square root of a negative number.That's almost like saying "when dealing with numbers bigger than 10, you cannot take the square root of 4. If what you are dealing with does not represent a number, then you cannot find its square root.
Yes, if the number whose square root we are taking is greater than 0. Only if you try to take the square root of a negative number will you get back an imaginary number. Square roots are often irrational, but that's different from real versus imaginary.
you cant take the square root of a negative number
You get an irrational number as the square root.
no, it is actually not a real number. It falls under the category of a imaginary number which is the square root of -1 or as the variable i Because the square root of -4 is 2i because the square root of 4 is 2 and if you take i out it will maek it a positive so it goes like this -4 SR= 2i -9 square root= 3i and so on
1: Calculate the square root, then calculate its square root; OR 2: Take the logarithm of the number, divide it by 4 then take the antilog.
