Question 244631: how do you find the square root. the equation looks something like this:3+(the square root of -3)......something like that.. Answer by College Student(505) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1) We know that a square root of a number is the result of another number multiplied by itself.
2) We also know the multiplication of two positive or negative numbers would always result in a positive number.
.
Therefore, we can conclude that negative numbers do not have square roots.
.
However, in order to deal with problems including square roots of negative numbers,
Rafael Bombelli (back in 1572) invented the imaginary number we know today as "i".
.
"i" =
.
Suppose your problem would have been ... since we know the square root of 9 is 3, we could've then say ...same as to say...
But in your problem, you may leave it as or expand it to ...or...

I hope this explanation helped. :)
