In school maths the square root of negative numbers does not exist. It is only in more advanced mathematics that you learn that the square roots of -10 are ± 3.162i where i is the imaginary square root of -1.
This a bit like being taught, in early junior school, that 2 cannot divide 3. Only later, you learn that it can, and the answer is 1.5.

How do you do a square root of a negative number that is not a perfect square?
The square root of a negative number is not real.
Is negative 64 square root of an integer?
Negative 64 is the square root of an integer. The square root of -64 is not an integer.
What is the square root of a negative number plus the square root of a negative number?
Nothing. You cannot have a square root of a negative number. The square root of negative one is called i, but i is an imaginary number. It does not exist and does not follow the properties of real numbers. (For example, if a and b are positive, then the square root of a times the square root of b is the square root of ab. But the square root of -7 is not the square root of 7 times i.)
What is an example of a rational number between the negative square root of four and the square root of four?
-1,0,or 1 the negative square root of four is negative two and the square root of four is two
