Because it's not.
However, if you were to take the square root of -16, the answer would be 4i, which is an imaginary number, considered imaginary because multiplication of a real number by itself cannot equal a negative number.

Is the square root of -16 a real number?
No it is not. The answer is imaginary. The answer is 4i
What kind of number is the square root of -16?
Square root of -1 is an imaginary number (√-1 = i), √-16 = √-1 * √16 √-16 = i * 4 √-16 = 4 i
Is the square root of negative 16 a transcendental number?
No it is an Imaginary Number√-16 = 4ii is the square root of negative one
Can a number be imaginary but not pure imaginary?
Yes. The number 1 + i is imaginary but not pure imaginary, while 5i is pure imaginary.
Is the difference of a complex number and its conjugate a real imaginary or pure imaginary number?
It is a pure imaginary number.Since (a+bi)-(a-bi) = 2bi, it is a pure imaginary number (it has no real component).

Can a no real number be a pure imaginary number?
If a number is pure imaginary then it has no real component. If it is a real number, then there is no imaginary component. If it has both real and imaginary components, then it is a complex number.
Can you divide an imaginary number by a real number?
an imaginary number is imaginary so no (i guess) this answer kind of sucks
How do you simplify the imaginary number -125?
-125 is NOT an imaginary number.
What does 7 divided by imaginary number equal?
That quotient would be an imaginary number. The actual number depends on exactly what imaginary number you divide the 7 by.

It is a pure imaginary number.Since (a+bi)-(a-bi) = 2bi, it is a pure imaginary number (it has no real component).
Is -23 an imaginary number?
No, but √-23 is. An imaginary number is the square root of a negative number.
Whats an imaginary number?
An imaginary number is a number that has the square root of -1 as one of its factors.
Are imaginary and complex numbers the same?
No. A complex number is a number that has both a real part and an imaginary part. Technically, a pure imaginary number ... which has no real part ... is not a complex number.
