Is the square root of x and the square root of NEGATIVE x both rational and irrational?
Yes, because when x equals 1, the square root of x is rational and the square root of -x is irrational, and when x equals -1, the square root of x is irrational and the square root of -x is rational.
What is the square root of negative twenty?
Because the Square Root of negative 1 = i (The imaginary square root of negative 1.) and where if the square root of one number and of another number are multiplied together, the answer is equal to the square root of the two numbers combined. (Square root of 8 times the square root of 5 equals the square root of 40.) So... √(-20) =√20×√(-1) =√4×√5×i =2i(√5) The answer is 2i times the square root of 5. square root (-20) = square root (-1) x square root (20) square root (-20) = i x 4.47213595 square root (-20) = 4.47213595 i
Can to negative square roots ever be multiplied?
You must be careful when multiplying square roots of negative numbers; the same rules that apply for normal square roots do NOT apply. I will use shorthand root(x) for the square root of x. For example, root(2) x root(3) = root(2 x 3) = root(6), but you can't do this with square roots of negative numbers. For example: root(-2) x root(-3) = i root(2) x i root(3) = i2 root(6) = (-1) root(6) = -root(6). "i" is the imaginary unit.
What is the square root of x to the seventeenth power?
The square root of x to the seventeenth power is x to the eighth and a half power. If x is negative, the answer is imaginary.
What is the square root of negative 49?
The square root of a negative number is considered an imaginary number. In this case, the square root of -49 is 7i, where i represents the imaginary unit (√-1). This is because when you square 7i, you get -49.
