no, it is actually not a real number.
It falls under the category of a imaginary number which is the square root of -1 or as the variable i
Because the square root of -4 is 2i because the square root of 4 is 2 and if you take i out it will maek it a positive
so it goes like this
-4 SR= 2i
-9 square root= 3i
and so on
-1,0,or 1 the negative square root of four is negative two and the square root of four is two
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.
Positive or negative (√8 * i) = Positive or negative 2.828i
using basic math principles, you can't find the square root of a negative number because in order for a number to be a square root, you have to multiply it by itself to get your radical. since a negative times a negative and a positive times a positive are both positive, it is impossible to find the square root of a negative number
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.
-1,0,or 1 the negative square root of four is negative two and the square root of four is two
The square root is generally positive or negative and it is only the context of the question that will tell you whether it is the positive root or the negative root. For example, if you are solving for the lengths of the sides of a square, a negative measure makes no sense so it must be the positive root.

The square root of a real number is not always positive. The square root of any positive number is positive, the square root of zero is zero (not positive), and the square root of a negative number is complex (i.e. neither positive nor negative). The square root of 16 = -4 or 4. The square root of 0 = 0 The square root of -16 = -4i or 4i
The square root of 100 is 10 but positive and a negative is a negative so it is negative 10
Yes, as is the positive square root.
√(a^2) That is |a| (the absolute value of a) Because if a is positive, a^2 is positive, and since √ is a positive square root, √(a^2) is a. If a is negative, a^2 is positive, and since √ is a positive square root, √(a^2) is -a. So if a is positive, √(a^2) is positive (which is a) If a is negative, √(a^2) is also positive (which is -a) So √(a^2) is |a| for every a.
Positive or negative (√8 * i) = Positive or negative 2.828i
The principal square root is the non-negative square root.

Every number has two square roots ... a positive one and a negative one. Example: +2 and -2 are both square roots of 4, because when you multiply either of them by itself, the answer is 4. The positive square root of a number is the square root that's not negative. The non-negative square root of a number is the positive one.
Definition of Square Root: The Square Root of a number 'X' is equal to 'A' when X=A*A By definition, the square root of a positive number has two answers, one negative and one positive, that have equal magnitudes. i.e. The square roots of 4 are 2 and -2. The Non-Negative Square Root is simply asking for the positive root.
