Every number has two square roots ... a positive one and a negative one.
Example:
+2 and -2 are both square roots of 4, because when you
multiply either of them by itself, the answer is 4.
The positive square root of a number is the square root that's not negative.
The non-negative square root of a number is the positive one.
