NO NO >>>
-3i*-3i=+9*(i*i)=9*(-1)=-9
square root of a negative number only gives raise to complex numbers involving i..square root of a positive number is always real and does not involve complex or imaginary number i
so square root of +9 could be +3 or -3
where as square root of -9 is +3i or -3i...i being defined with the property i*i=-1...which as you can see from above is an imaginary number
