There is no known number that can be squared and produce a negative number since if the number is positive, the result will be positive, and if it's negative the result will still be positive. Accordingly the square roots of negative numbers are normally expressed as a factor of "i" where i is the square root of -1. In that case the square root of -25 is 5i.


Why is it When the words are written the square root of thirty six the answer is negative six and six?

(-6)x(-6)=36 as 6x6=36 All real positive numbers have two square roots. A positive one and a negative one.
