Every operation in Mathematics needs to have an inverse.

For addition, its inverse is subtraction (and vice versa)

For multiplication, its division

The inverse of squaring a number, is taking its square root.

How do you find the square root of negative numbers?

For most school mathematics, negative numbers do not have square roots. This is because a negative number multiplied by itself is a negative times a negative and so is positive. When (if) you study advanced mathematics, you will learn that there is a solution and this falls within the realms of complex mathematics and imaginary numbers.


What does Pi is transcentental mean in mathematics?

How many square roots does a negative Number have?

This depends on whether you include imaginary numbers. The imaginary unit i is defined such that i² = -1. So the square root of -1 will be either i or -i. So the answer is there are 2 square roots for any number. Now if you are at a level of mathematics, which does not yet consider i, then the answer is you cannot take the square root of a negative.


Why is the use of square roots important?

What are roots in mathematics?

Roots in math are like the opposite of exponents, kind of like multiplying and dividing, and adding and subtracting. If you take square a number, and then take the square root of that number, you just undid everything. If 9 squared is 81, then the square root of 81 is 9. If 5 cubed is 125, then the cubed root of 125 is 5.
