That greatly depends on what level of math you are taking. Early math classes might want you to say, "You can't take the square root of a negative number." Later math will talk about real numbers and still the answer would be, "The square root of -4 does not have a real answer." Still later in your math career you will see imaginary numbers whereby the special character "i" is equivalent the the square root of -1. If imaginary answers are allowed, then the square root of -4 = 2i (since -4 is the same as -1 x 4, the square root of -1 x 4 = i x 2 =2i)

Square root of -121?
it is impossible to get the square root of a negative, since the definition of a square root is something times itself. example: the square root of 16 is 4 because 4 x 4 = 16. and a negative times a negative is a positive, so the square root of a negative is impossible. however, you can do the square root of 121 (which is 11) and make the 11 a negative. 11 x 11 = 121 and -11 x -11 = 121 but you could make 11 negative after the fact, if that is what you wanted to do.

What is an imaginary number?
The square root of a negative real number is an imaginary number.We know square root is defined only for positive numbers.For example,1) Find the square root of (-1)It is imaginary. We say that square root of (-1) is i.In fact they are not real numbers.2) Find the square root of (-4)-4 can be written as (-1)(4)Square root of 4 is 2 and square root of (-1) is iSo, the square root of -4 is 2i.Similarly, we can find the square root of other negative numbers also.Source: www.icoachmath.comAn imaginary number is defined to handle square roots of negative numbers. The imaginary unit i is defined as the 'positive' square root of -1.
