OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait to find the square root of something don't you divide it by 2?

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

..no square root is the number that multiplies by itself like the square root of 49 will be 7 (cuz 7*7=49) And it's okay, at least u tried :)

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

@nnesha help please :)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

There is no squareroot for a negative number

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Because no two numbers that are the same when multiplied can be negative.

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

So it would be no solution? (Im solving an equation) :P

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

Thanks tso :)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Well, we could make it imaginary roots. Ever heard of those? :P

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\sf\Large i^2 = -1\)

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
