well either
a. you take out i (for imaginary number) which makes the number inside positive and continue from there or
b. you dont have an answer....impossible/ N/A would probably be the best options there

you have to change the equation around so that the negative is outside of the square root, and you have to do this other shittt too

there's no solution if you're only using real numbers

if you're using imaginary numbers then it uses i

ex.

square root of -4 = 2i

ok...if you have like [-4  u take out the negative by making it i[4........so you just take the negative away but multiply it by and "i".....so i[4 = 2i

since the square root of 4 is two
