Not necessarily. There are many ways to write a basic equation with a negative answer. For example, -3-4 = -7. Here 4 is a positive number but because you subtract 4 to 3 or take away 4 from 3 being a negative number and so you get a negative answer. Another example is 6+(-9). There are a couple of ways you can resolve this. My method is to subtract 9 from 6 which gives you 3 and simply add a negative sign.

Let me know if you'd like more examples. Hope this helps!! Sorry if it is confusing I can explain you in a more simpler way if you'd like.

What to do if quadratic equation has a negative spuare root?

alex41 [277]

If the negative square root is found to be one of your solutions, then that is indicative of a pair of imaginary roots (the imaginary i). According to the conjugate rule, if you have one solution that is imaginary, you will have another but with the opposite sign. For example, if a solution to a quadratic is found to be 2 - i, then its conjugate, 2 + i is also a solution. They will ALWAYS go in pairs. Same thing with radical solutions. If one solution is found to be $3+\sqrt{5}$
