Question

Can you square a negative number

Answer 1

Yes, you can square a negative number; however, the product will be a positive integer as a negative multiplied by a negative will result in a positive.

For example;
(-2) * (-2) = 4.

Edit: Seeing that you meant to square root a negative number-- no, you cannot square root a negative number as you cannot multiply a negative number by a negative number to get a negative product; it will always be positive.

I hope this helps!
