Yes, they are numbers in the complex field.
Look at it this way: You started to count with positive integers. But with only those numbers subtraction was limited. You could not take 3 from 2. The solution was to introduce negative numbers. That expanded the number system and what you could do with them.
You learned to divide, but you could not divide 2 by 3. This time the solution was to introduce [rational] fractions. Again, the number system was expanded as was the range of and its power.
You learned about square roots but even common numbers like 2 did not have a square root that was a rational number. So you introduced Irrational Numbers. Once again, the number system was expanded as was the range of and its power.
The next hurdle was the square root of negative numbers. The solution was to introduce complex numbers. And once again ... you guessed!
The introduction of each additional set of number comes as you get into more complicated areas of the subject. In the UK you will not come across complex numbers until you study further mathematics at A level.

What is the square root of 0.25?
Any number greater than 0 has two square roots, a positive square root and a corresponding negative square root. Rounded to two decimal places, the square roots of 0.25 are ±0.5.0.5
What are the square roots of 4356?
Any positive number has two square roots, one positive and one corresponding negative. In this instance, sqrt(4356) = ±66 (that is, plus or minus 66).
The number 49 has two square roots what are they?
The two square roots of any positive number are the positive square root and the negative square root. The positive square root of 49 is 7, because 72=49, while the negative square root is -7, because -72=49.
What is the square root of 514?
Any number greater than 0 has two square roots, a positive square root and a corresponding negative square root. Rounded to two decimal places, the square roots of 514 are ±22.67. (+-22.67156809750927)
What is the positive and negative square roots of 256?
The positive square root of 256 is 16 because 16 multiplied by 16 equals 256. The negative square root of 256 is -16 because -16 multiplied by -16 also equals 256. In general, for any positive number x, the square roots of x are both a positive and a negative number, with the positive square root being the principal square root.
Is the square root a real number?
The square roots of any positive real number are a positive and a negative real number. The square roots of any negative real number are a positive and a negative imaginary number. The square roots of any imaginary number or any complex number are two complex numbers.
Is there a number that doesn't have a square root?
Any negative number, and infinity. However, a number (called "i") was created to represent the square roots of negative numbers.
What does a non-zero rational number mean?
any number (including fractions, square roots and Pi) that are not 0 and are not square roots of negative numbers.
What is 36 square rooted?
Any positive integer has two square roots, one positive number and one negative number. This is because a negative number multiplied by a negative number is equal to a positive number.In this instance, the square roots of 36 are 6, and -6.
Real square roots of -196?
None. The square of any real number must be non-negative.
What are the square roots of 64?
The square roots of any positive number are the positive and negative number which can be multiplied together to make that number. In this instance, sqrt(64) = ±8.
What can be determined from roots of real numbers?
The short answer is "Nothing". In the complex domain, the number of nth roots of any real number is n. Every non-negative real number has 2 square roots. Every real number has 3 cube roots. Every non-negative real number has 2 real square roots and 2 imaginary ones. and so on. So what?
How many square roots can a positive number have?
Every positive number has two square roots, though the roots are not always whole numbers (or even rational numbers). The more obvious of each numbers roots is the positive one.The positive square root of 4 is 2, because 2*2=4.The positive square root of 5 is roughly 2.236068.The other square root of a number is the negative inverse of their positive root. This is because when two negative numbers are multiplied together the negative signs "cancel out", leaving a positive number.The negative square root of 4 is -2, because -2*-2=4.The negative square root of 5 is roughly -2.236068.Zero has only one square root, itself, and no negative number has any (real number) square roots, since no number multiplied by itself will result in a negative.
What is the square root of 200?
Any number greater than 0 has two square roots, a positive square root and a corresponding negative square root. Rounded to two decimal places, the square roots of 200 are ±14.14.
What is the square root of 0.25?
Any number greater than 0 has two square roots, a positive square root and a corresponding negative square root. Rounded to two decimal places, the square roots of 0.25 are ±0.5.0.5
What is the square root of twelve?
Any number greater than 0 has two square roots, a positive square root and a corresponding negative square root. Rounded to two decimal places, the square roots of 12 are ±3.46.
What is the square root of 786?
Any number greater than 0 has two square roots, a positive square root and a corresponding negative square root. Rounded to two decimal places, the square roots of 786 are ±28.04.
