I think it is Xi (whatever the square root of the positive is times i). i is an imaginary number that when you square it, it becomes negative. eg. the square root of -4 is 2i. Without "i", it would be impossible to square root a negative number, as any number times itself will always equal a positive.
using basic math principles, you can't find the square root of a negative number because in order for a number to be a square root, you have to multiply it by itself to get your radical. since a negative times a negative and a positive times a positive are both positive, it is impossible to find the square root of a negative number
The square root of a negative number is not real.
No. In general, the square root of a negative number is an imaginary number, which is not a real number.
first of all the square root of any negative number is technically impossible, but in certain maths it can be accepted in terms of imaginary number, i. so to answer your question it is about 2.236067977i
