Hope that you have understood how to represent root 5 on the number line. For reference go figure given below the first video in this lesion. Now, draw CB ⊥ AB and CB = 1 unit (as shown in first video). Now, join OC. The length of OC is root 6. At C, DC ⊥ AB. Join OD. Taking O as centre and OD as radius draw an arc that intersects the number line Q .
Here, OD = OQ = root 7.
Now, Q is the point on the number line that represents the number root 7.

The radical symbol ( √ ) followed by a line above what's in the radical, designates positive square root.
i do not know how to do it please tell me how to do it
Negative square root is -√Square root of negative one is i.
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.
Mathematicians decided that, since the square root of a negative number does not exist, they would use the first letter of "imaginary" to represent this "value".
