Why is square root of the number -9 not a real number?

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.


Is the square root of seven a real number?

Well, first let's define a "real number." A real number is any number that's not imaginary. It can be rational or irrational. The square root of 7 is 2.64575131... and it goes on forever. This means it cannot be written as a simple fraction. We can give an estimate of the square root of 7 in a fraction form, but this is not the exact result. So, the square root of 7 is a irrational number.Since a real number can be irrational or rational, yes, the square root of 7 is a real number.
