Is the square root of negative 3 an irrational or a real number?
Neither. All irrational numbers are real numbers.Using the real number system you can't take the square root of a negative number, but if you're dealing with imaginary numbers then the square root of negative 3 is the square root of 3i
What is the square root of negative 2500?
square roots of a negative number are imaginary, where i = square root (-1) sqrt (-2500) = sqrt (2500) i = 50 i
What is the square root of 16x squared?
If you square an expression and then take the square root, the squaring and the square root cancel one another, EXCEPT that the sign will be positive. Thus, if you square 16x, and then take the square root, the answer can be 16x or -16x, depending on whether "x" is positive or negative. Or if you only square x, and then take the square root of the entire expression, it would be 4x or -4x (once again, depending on whether "x" is positive or negative).
What does it mean to take a square root of a number?
To take the square root would be like asking: What number multiplied by itself would get this number? So for example, 5 multiplied by itself would equal 25, so the square root of 25 is 5.
What ia the square root of -55?
There is not square root of a negative number as any two identical numbers (either negative or positive) multiplied together result in a positive number. _______________________ In many cases, mathematics describes real concepts. And even though conventional math doesn't have a place for the square root of a negative number, "complex arithmetic" does.To get the square root of a negative number, we factor the negative number - in this case, -55 - into 55 * -1, or 55 times negative 1. We can take the square root of the positive number 55 easily; it is ... (looking for my calculator....) 7.41619849.== == The square root of the other factor (-1) doesn't really exist, so we call it "i", the "imaginary number". So i2 = -1. When the concept was first developed back in the 1500's, the idea of "imaginary" numbers was strictly a game, a puzzle, something to play with. Most of mathematics is that way. However, it is a curious fact that "useless" information turns out to be very useful indeed, as soon as we figure out where. Complex arithmetic and imaginary numbers turn out to be extraordinarily useful for describing electromagnetic waves and radiation.
Square root of -12 plus square root of 300?

How do you find negative square root of 49?
You don't. If the negative sign is outside the radical, then you take the square root of the number and apply the negative. If the negative sign is inside the radical, you will have an imaginary number.
What can you not do with square root?
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.
Is the square root of -25 irrational or complex?
you cant get the square root of a negative number. nothing times itself would equal a negative number. if you have √-25 then its not possible. If you have -√25 then you take the square root of 25 and make it negative, so then it would be -5
Why square root of negative 36 is not a real number?
When you multiply any number by itself, the result is always positive. You cannot take any real number and square it to get something negative. The square root of -36 is 6i.
What is the square root of negative 2500?
square roots of a negative number are imaginary, where i = square root (-1) sqrt (-2500) = sqrt (2500) i = 50 i
6 time the square root of -18?
24
Why can't you take a negative square root?
Yes you can. The negative square root of 36, for example, is -6.
What times itself equals -9?
3i the letter "i" is a complex number in mathematics. it stands for the square root of negative one. since you cannot take the square root of negative numbers in your caculators the correct way to represent it is by putting an "i" in the place of the square root of negative one.
Why does the square root of 25 not have a real solution?
You can't take the square root of a negative number. The square root of -25 is 5i. It's an imaginary number.
Is the square root of negative four positive and negative?
no, it is actually not a real number. It falls under the category of a imaginary number which is the square root of -1 or as the variable i Because the square root of -4 is 2i because the square root of 4 is 2 and if you take i out it will maek it a positive so it goes like this -4 SR= 2i -9 square root= 3i and so on
