The term principal square root refers only to square roots of positive numbers. The square root of a negative number is imaginary, and is denoted by the square root of its absolute value, succeeded by the letter i, denoting its imaginary status. In this instance, sqrt(-88.36) = 9.4 i, such that sqrt(88.36) = 9.4.
