Using the real number system you can't take the square root of a negative number, but if you're dealing with imaginary numbers then the square root of negative 3 is the square root of 3i

∙ 14y agoThe square root of negative 36 is an imaginary number and therefore not an irrational number. For a number to be irrational it must first be real.
It is a real number, a rational number, an integer.
All irrational numbers are Real numbers - it's part of the definition of an irrational number. Imaginary numbers are neither rational nor irrational. An example of a number that is both Real and irrational is the square root of two. Another example is the number pi.
For the same reason that the square root of ANY negative number is not a real number.Real numbers are positive, negative, or zero. * The square of a positive number is a positive number. * The square of a negative number is a positive number. * The square of zero is zero. In other words, in no case will you get a REAL number whose square is a negative number. The square roots of negative numbers are said to be "imaginary" - a name given for historical reasons. They are just as "real" or "unreal" as the so-called real numbers, but the point is that they are a different kind of numbers.
Well, first let's define a "real number." A real number is any number that's not imaginary. It can be rational or irrational. The square root of 7 is 2.64575131... and it goes on forever. This means it cannot be written as a simple fraction. We can give an estimate of the square root of 7 in a fraction form, but this is not the exact result. So, the square root of 7 is a irrational number.Since a real number can be irrational or rational, yes, the square root of 7 is a real number.
It's irrational/not a real number
The square root of negative 36 is an imaginary number and therefore not an irrational number. For a number to be irrational it must first be real.
No. The square root of negative one is an example of an imaginary (not real) number. Pi is irrational, but real.
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.
No, it is not even a real number. It is an imaginary number.
All real numbers are irrational. For example, Pi is an irrational number that is a real number. Other irrational numbers can be the square root of an imperfect square.
The square root of 8 is irrational and real.
It is a real number, a rational number, an integer.
The square root of any negative number is not even a 'real' number. It's called 'imaginary', because there's no number you can multiply by itself to get a negative number. The square root of 101 is irrational.
Yes, square of 2 is a real number. Real numbers fall into 2 categories, Rational and Irrational. Square of 2 is an irrational number.
The square root of any positive, non-square number will be both real and irrational.
It is a real but an irrational number
