What is the rule for multiplying a negative times a positive number?

How negative number can have neither a positive nor negative square root why is this true?
This is true because to square a number means to multiply it with itself. For example: 2 x 2 = 4 is the same as 2^2. But also keep in mind that a negative multiplied with itself is a positive, because a negative times a negative will always equal a positive: -2 x -2 = 4, or -2^2 So, -4 cannot have a negative or a positive square because -2^2= 4 and 2^2=4
