A positive real number, such as 17, has two square roots. One is the one your calculator gives you, if you use the square root function. The other is the same number, with a minus sign in front. None of these has an imaginary part. There are no additional complex roots that have a non-zero imaginary part.

Is the square root of 24 real complex or imaginary?

The square root of any positive real number (as in this case) is a real number. (Such square roots are usually irrational.)The square root of a negative real number, such as the square root of -15, is an imaginary, and therefore also a complex, number.

How do you find square root of a complex number?

This is best done if the complex number is in polar coordinates - that is, a distance from the origin, and an angle. Take the square root of the argument (the absolute value) of the complex number; and half the angle.

What is the number i?

i is the symbol for an imaginary number, a complex number with the property i2=-1. The square root of a negative number is the square root times i. For example, the square root of -9 = 3i.


If you divide 4 by the square root of -7 and then times that by the square root of sin30 how many swag points will you gain?

I am not sure what you want to calculate; anyway, the square root of a negative number is a complex number: in this case, "i" multiplied by the square root of 7. The remaining calculations will also result in complex numbers. When you calculate points, you usually want a real number, not a complex number.

What is the square root of negative 144?

The negative square root of -144 is -12i - that is -12 times the square root of minus 1, ie √-144 = 12√-1. The above is a complex number, which I suspect is not the answer you wanted; there is no real number that is the square root of a negative number If you wanted the negative square root of 144, then it is -12.
