There is no real number multiplied by itself that equals -72, or any negative number, for that matter.

In fact there are no even roots of negative numbers. However, odd roots of negative numbers are entirely possible. For instance, the cube root of -64 is -4 ... rather, ( -4 ) ( -4 ) ( -4 ) = -64

What is the square root of a negative number plus the square root of a negative number?

Nothing. You cannot have a square root of a negative number. The square root of negative one is called i, but i is an imaginary number. It does not exist and does not follow the properties of real numbers. (For example, if a and b are positive, then the square root of a times the square root of b is the square root of ab. But the square root of -7 is not the square root of 7 times i.)
