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".
You would get (i square root 2) because you can not square root a negative number, the answer is imaginary. Tmdkiller: Square root is NOT applicable to any Negative numbers eg -1 ,-2,-3 etc You would get an "Error 2" on a scientific Calculator anyway. =) editted by razakhan squre root of -2 is 2i (where "i" is "iota" represents imaginary or complex number......
It is just a notation, used to make our calculations easier. Square root of -1 is undefined.
The square root of any negative number is equal to the square root of its absolute value followed by i - an imaginary number representing the square root of minus one. Therefore, such that sqrt(25) = 5, sqrt(-25) = 5i.
The square root of negative forty-nine (-49) has no value over real numbers. However, over complex numbers, the square root of -49 is ±7i, where "i" is the imaginary unit, which i2 = -1.
The value of iota square is negative one because that is how it is defined. Iota is defined as the square root of negative one, or iota square must be negative one.
square root of -1

The square root of a negative value is called an imaginary number.

rate if useful!! :D

Yes, but it involves the square root of -1. sqrt (-X) = sqrt (X) * sqrt(-1)
To solve equations with absolute values in them, square the absolute value and then take the square root. This works because the square of a negative number is positive, and the square root of that square is the abosolute value of the original number.
square root of a negative number is imaginary square root of negative 1 is defined as i square root of negative 144 is sqrt ((144)(-1)) = 12i
The square root of any negative number is equal to the square root of its absolute value followed by i - an imaginary number representing the square root of minus one. Therefore, such that sqrt(25) = 5, sqrt(-25) = 5i.
