We want to find the positive square root of - 0.25.
sqrt(- 0.25)Recall that no real number multiplied by itself can be equal to a negative number. This is because any positive number multiplied by a positive number is a positive number, and any negative number multiplied by a negative number is also a positive number.
(+)*(+)=(+)
(-)*(-)=(+)
Therefore, there is no real number that when raised to the second power will result in a negative number. This means that there is no real square root of a negative number.
sqrt(- 0.25) = *
