At your stage of math education, you haven't learned how to handle the square

root of any negative number yet, whether it's a whole number, a fraction, or a

decimal.

To indicate the square root of a negative number, temporarily ignore the minus sign,

find the square root of the positive number, and then write the letter " i " next to

the answer. That shows that the number is imaginary, and in a few years, you'll

learn what that means and how to work with it.
