The square root of a negative number is considered an imaginary number. In this case, the square root of -49 is 7i, where i represents the imaginary unit (√-1). This is because when you square 7i, you get -49.

A square root of a negative number is not possible because there aren't two numbers that are the same that can be a negative number.

Though, you can simplify it in terms of i (imaginary number), you just change it into

√49 X √-1

The square root of 49 is 7 The square root of -1 is i, So it becomes

7 X i

Thus making the answer 7i
