A positive number has two square roots, its principal (positive) root and its negative root. This is because a negative number multiplied by a negative number equals a positive number. In this instance, the square roots of 256 are 16 and -16.
The square roots of any positive real number are a positive and a negative real number. The square roots of any negative real number are a positive and a negative imaginary number. The square roots of any imaginary number or any complex number are two complex numbers.

Positive and negative roots, eg 12 x 12 = 144 and -12 x -12 = 144
Every positive number has two square roots, though the roots are not always whole numbers (or even rational numbers). The more obvious of each numbers roots is the positive one.The positive square root of 4 is 2, because 2*2=4.The positive square root of 5 is roughly 2.236068.The other square root of a number is the negative inverse of their positive root. This is because when two negative numbers are multiplied together the negative signs "cancel out", leaving a positive number.The negative square root of 4 is -2, because -2*-2=4.The negative square root of 5 is roughly -2.236068.Zero has only one square root, itself, and no negative number has any (real number) square roots, since no number multiplied by itself will result in a negative.
A positive number has two square roots, its principal (positive) root and its negative root. This is because a negative number multiplied by a negative number equals a positive number. In this instance, the square roots of 256 are 16 and -16.
The square roots of any positive real number are a positive and a negative real number. The square roots of any negative real number are a positive and a negative imaginary number. The square roots of any imaginary number or any complex number are two complex numbers.
A positive number has two square roots, that is, there are two solutions to an equation like x2 = 100. The "principal square root" refers to the positive solution.

Any positive number has two square roots, a positive square root and its negative equivalent. This is because two negatives multiplied together equal a positive. In this instance, sqrt(625) = ±25 (that is, 25 and -25).
Any positive integer has two square roots, one positive number and one negative number. This is because a negative number multiplied by a negative number is equal to a positive number.In this instance, the square roots of 36 are 6, and -6.
There are two possible answers because if you square a negative number, you will get a positive answer.
Every number has two square roots. They're the same size, but one is positive and the other is negative.
Any positive number has two square roots, one positive and one negative. In this instance, rounded to two decimal places, sqrt(652) = ±25.53. (That is, 25.53 and -25.53).
Every positive rational number and its negative are the two square roots of the same positive rational number.
Two, a positive and a negative.
Every positive number has two square roots. Their absolute values are the same. One is positive and the other is negative.
