Restate the question: "What is the value of radical (-12)?"
If this is not your question, please clarify and resubmit the question. :-)
If we are dealing with real numbers, then there is no answer: there is no real number whose square is a negative number.
If you are in the realm of imaginary and complex numbers, then you can say that:
rad(-12) = rad(-1*12) = rad(-1)*rad12 = i*rad12, where i is the number whose square is -1.
rad12 in turn can be written as rad(4*3) = 2rad3 =~ 3.5
The final answer can be written as 2irad3 or ~3.5i.

Technically,no. A radical equation has a radical (Square root) in it, and has two solutions because the square root can be positive or negative.
