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.
The square root of a negative value is called an imaginary or number?
Yes. The letter i denotes the value of the "positive square root" of -1. So i² = -1. But also (-i)² = -1 as well. Remember that for every number there is a "positive" and "negative" square root. So if you want the square root of -4, you can do this: -4 = (-1)(4). So sqrt(-4) = sqrt[(-1)(4)] = sqrt(-1)*sqrt(4) = i*2 or -i*2. We usually write these as 2i and -2i.
Is non-real numbers exist?
no, every number is a real number --- There are numbers that are not real numbers. They are called imaginary numbers, and have the property that when they are squared, the result is negative. The square root of -1 is called i, and the square root of any other negative number is i times the square root of the absolute value of the number. So the square root of -4 is 2i.
Is the square root of 16 a rational number or irrational number?
The square root of 16 is 4 which is a rational number
What is 4 square root of 10?
Answer: 4×4×4×4×4×4×4×4×4×4 =1048576 Answer: There is no "4 square root of 10". There is a square root (which number must I square - i.e., raise to the power 2 - to get 10?) and there is a 4th. root (which number must I raise to the 4th. power to get 10?).
