Is it possible for a to be a negative number in the equation a squared equal b explain why or why not?
SelenaRinggp3173
Of course it is. 'a' can be any positive or negative number, and 'b' is its square.
That's no problem.
What is difficult is for 'b' to be a negative number in the same equation.
No real number for 'a' can produce a negative 'b'.

What type of number is negative 64 squared?
The question is ambiguous. If you meant negative (64 squared), the value is -4096, which is a negative integer. If, instead, you meant (negative 64) squared, the value is +4096, a positive integer.
Is it possible to find the square root of a negative number explain why or why not?
This is not possible, because any number squared would be positive, not negative.

Can the kinetic energy of an object be negative?
The kinetic energy of an object can never be negative. Why? The equation for kinetic energy is 1/2mv^2. Mass cannot be negative, as it is mass. Though velocity can be negative, it will never result in a negative resultant because it will be squared. An example would be -4 squared. -4 squared will result in a positive 16. Even -4000 squared will still be a positive 16000000. So in conclusion, kinetic energy will never be negative.
