Negative square roots are just the opposite of positive square roots. Since square roots (of positive numbers) are real, the negative square roots are also real.
Square roots of negative numbers are not real.
Note that -1 = exp(Pi*i), so (-1)^(1/2) = exp((1/2)*Pi*i) = i.
Note that exp(i*x) = cos(x) + i*sin(x), for instance by taking derivatives:
(d/dx)(exp(i*x)) = i*exp(i*x), and
(d/dx)^2(exp(i*x)) =(-1)*exp(i*x).
This means that the second derivative of exp(i*x) equals -exp(i*x).
The same property holds for cos(x) + i*sin(x):
(d/dx)(cos(x) + i*sin(x)) = -sin(x) + i*cos(x)
(d/dx)^2(cos(x) + i*sin(x)) = -cos(x) - i*sin(x) = -(cos(x) + i*sin(x)))
Hence cos(x) + i*sin(x)) = C + Dx + exp(i*x), for some C and D.
Comparing the values on both sides for x = 0, we find:
1 = C+1, so C = 0 and for the first derivative:
i = D + i, so D = 0.
So cos(x) + i*sin(x)) = exp(i*x) for all x.
by comparing x=0 for both functions and their first derivative. Since they coincide,

This can not be done. Every non-negative number on the number line is the square root of its square. You would have to mark every number from zero on.
Yes. A real number is any number that could be plotted on a number line. For example, 3/4 could be plotted on a number line, and so it is real. Only square roots of negative numbers are not real: they are called imaginary.

Square rootsTo find the square root of a number, you want to find some number that when multiplied by itself gives you the original number. In other words, to find the square root of 25, you want to find the number that when multiplied by itself gives you 25. The square root of 25, then, is 5. The symbol for the square root is . Following is a partial list of perfect (whole number) square roots.Note: If no sign (or a positive sign) is placed in front of the square root, the positive answer is required. No sign means that a positive is understood. Only if a negative sign is in front of the square root is the negative answer required.A fraction, or fractional number, is used to represent a part of a whole. Fractions consist of two numbers: a numerator (which is above the line) and a denominator(which is below the line).So to work out the square root of a fraction you find the square root of the numerator and put it above the square root of the denominator.
