Is it possible for a to be a negative number in the equation a squared equal b explain why or why not?
Of course it is. 'a' can be any positive or negative number, and 'b' is its square.That's no problem.What is difficult is for 'b' to be a negative number in the same equation.No real number for 'a' can produce a negative 'b'.
Can the square of an integer be a negative number explain?

Is it possible to find the square root of a negative number in the real number system?
No. There is no real number which multiplied by itself forms a negative number.A negative times a negative is a positive, and only a positive times a negative is a negative.However, in calculus there is an "imaginary value" (called i ) which represents the square root of -1.Square roots of larger negative numbers are represented by the square of the absolute value times i .
Why is it impossible to get a negative answer when you square any number?
V kno that- x- is +. Now when u sqare a negative no it means occouring 2 times and cancel out each other. For example- -2 x -2=4 ============================ (a second answer.) Every real number is either negative, positive or zero. When you square a number, you multiply it by itself, so if you square a negative number, you are multiplying a negative by a negative which gives a positive. If you square a positive, you multiply a positive by a positive and get a positive. If you square 0 , get 0. Therefore, in no case is the answer negative. ( It is harder to explain why a negative times a negative is positive.)

you cant get the square root of a negative number. nothing times itself would equal a negative number. if you have √-25 then its not possible. If you have -√25 then you take the square root of 25 and make it negative, so then it would be -5
Is it possible for a standard deviation to be negative?
no it is not possible because you have to take the square of error that is (x-X)2. the square of any number is always positive----------Improved answer:It is not possible to have a negative standard deviation because:SD (standard deviation) is equal to the square of V (variance).
Why is it possible to find a real cube root of a negative number but not a real square root of a negative number?
You cannot get real square root of a negative number because two numbers multiplied by themselves are always positive You can always get a real cube root of a negative number because three negative numbers multiplied by themselves give a negative .
