I'll try some of the things you suggested! hi sarah Posted at 6:48 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 Quote: from aleiram51 at 1:46 pm on Dec. 10, 2008 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 ya this yo. YarbDog Posted at 6:47 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 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 LucidAssassin Posted at 6:46 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 Quote: from alastrxxna at 6:45 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 Negative square roots are impossible. You say: No solution. :D not if you take out i but yeah your answer is right if youre not using imaginary numbers TBMP Posted at 6:46 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 you make it i root w/e the number that was negetive for istance if it was root -16 i would be i X root 16 aleiram51 Posted at 6:46 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 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 hi sarah Posted at 6:46 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 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 LucidAssassin Posted at 6:45 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 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 alastrxxna Posted at 6:45 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 Negative square roots are impossible. You say: No solution. :D hi sarah Posted at 6:45 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 you cant have the square root of a negative. camillelong 26 Posted at 6:45 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 isnt that when you use the 'i' thing?
