Just take the square root, and put a minus sign in front of it.
You don't. If the negative sign is outside the radical, then you take the square root of the number and apply the negative. If the negative sign is inside the radical, you will have an imaginary number.
no, it is actually not a real number. It falls under the category of a imaginary number which is the square root of -1 or as the variable i Because the square root of -4 is 2i because the square root of 4 is 2 and if you take i out it will maek it a positive so it goes like this -4 SR= 2i -9 square root= 3i and so on

think about it this way... a negative times a negative is a positive... squaring is the same as multiplying it by itself. 4^2 is 16, 4X4 is 16. -7X-7 is positive 49. So a square can't be negative, therefore a negative cannot be square rooted.
you cant take the square root of a negative number
you cant get the square root of a negative number. nothing times itself would equal a negative number. if you have √-25 then its not possible. If you have -√25 then you take the square root of 25 and make it negative, so then it would be -5
It depends on whether you take the positive square root of 4 (YES) or the negative square root of 4 (No).
Just take the square root, and put a minus sign in front of it.
square roots of a negative number are imaginary, where i = square root (-1) sqrt (-2500) = sqrt (2500) i = 50 i
Neither. All irrational numbers are real numbers.Using the real number system you can't take the square root of a negative number, but if you're dealing with imaginary numbers then the square root of negative 3 is the square root of 3i
You don't. If the negative sign is outside the radical, then you take the square root of the number and apply the negative. If the negative sign is inside the radical, you will have an imaginary number.
When dealing with real numbers, you cannot take the square root of a negative number. The concept of the imaginary number was created to handle the square root of a negative number.That's almost like saying "when dealing with numbers bigger than 10, you cannot take the square root of 4. If what you are dealing with does not represent a number, then you cannot find its square root.
If you square an expression and then take the square root, the squaring and the square root cancel one another, EXCEPT that the sign will be positive. Thus, if you square 16x, and then take the square root, the answer can be 16x or -16x, depending on whether "x" is positive or negative. Or if you only square x, and then take the square root of the entire expression, it would be 4x or -4x (once again, depending on whether "x" is positive or negative).
3i the letter "i" is a complex number in mathematics. it stands for the square root of negative one. since you cannot take the square root of negative numbers in your caculators the correct way to represent it is by putting an "i" in the place of the square root of negative one.
When you multiply any number by itself, the result is always positive. You cannot take any real number and square it to get something negative. The square root of -36 is 6i.
4X10= 40 take the square root of 2 and makes exactly a 2, and just leave the square root of 10 with radical sign so the answer is 2i square root of 10
