That would be the set of all non-zero numbers. If by number you actually meant whole numbers, that is integers, then it would be the set of all non-zero integers. They are also called Additive Inverses. For example, -5 is the additive inverse of 5, because 5 + (-5) = 0. Similarly, 7 is the additive inverse of -7 because (-7) + 7 = 0.

Why is square root of the number -9 not a real number?

Well, honey, the square root of a negative number like -9 isn't a real number because in the real number system, the square root of a negative number isn't defined. You gotta step into the world of complex numbers if you wanna play with those imaginary roots. So, in short, the square root of -9 is as real as a unicorn riding a rainbow.

What 2 numbers would be the square root of 53?

Every positive integer has two square roots, a positive square root and a negative square root. This is because, just like a positive number multiplied by a positive number is equal to a positive number, a negative number multiplied by a negative number is equal to a positive number. Therefore, rounded to two decimal places, the positive square root is equal to 7.28, and the negative square root is -7.28.
