A radical is the sign √ which is used to indicate that a root must be calculated. The full format is n√ which indicates that it is the nth root that is required. For square roots the prefix is usually excluded. [As a result many people wrongly assume that the radical sign refers only to square roots.]

Can a radical be negative?

In mathematics, a radical typically refers to the root of a number, such as the square root. The value under a radical can be negative, but if we're talking about real numbers, the square root of a negative number is not defined in the real number system; instead, it results in an imaginary number. However, if you're considering other radicals, like cube roots, the radical itself can yield a negative result if the number under the radical is negative.
