what's the square root of negative one?

Answer 1

The imaginary number known as "i".

Answer 2

Negative 1 doesn't have a square root because, no negative number can be a square. If you think about it, the only way you can even get a negative number is if you multiply a positive and a negative. When you multiply 2 positives, you get a positive, and when you multiply 2 negatives, they cancel each other out. Example: -4x-4= +16. And one (even though it's the loneliest number) is no exception.

Answer 3

First of all the square root of a negative number is not possible, therefore the square root of negative one is "i" which is an imaginary number.

Answer 4

The square root of negative one is the complex number called iota denoted by i.
They are useful in higher sciences primarily and as a test to baffle students in junior classes :P

Answer 5

you have to take out an imaginary # which is i and that leaves just a 1 under the square root, so the answer will be i(square root)1 dang keyboards dont have square root button!

Answer 6

It´s not possible to resolve. You can´t have square root of negative numbers

Answer 7

the numbers that we generally talk about are real i.e they have a physical significance . however maths demands the usage of other types of numbers the most common among them are complex numbers.complex numbers do not have a physical significance. this means that you can have 1 apple but you cannot have i( a complex number) of apples
now square root of a negative number does not have a real significance and is complex.
square root of -1 is 'i' (complex number)

Answer 8

-1 doesn't have a square root

Answer 9

Not one

Answer 10

there can't be! and a negative x a negative makes a positive
