a is a real number since we use just letters to represent real numbers.

if a > 0, then its square root is also a real number, so it has two square roots, one positive and one negative. Be careful when you use the radical sign, because it is looking only for the principal square root of a, which is the positive one.

if a < 0, then its square root is an imaginary number.
