Let’s get Radical

The symbol for square root, √, called a radical sign, denotes the principal or nonnegative square root.

The expression under the radical sign is called the radicand.

Therefore: The square root of a negative number is not a real number.

No number squared equals a negative product. Example: √-25 has no real number solution.

However, , since the negative sign is outside the radical sign.
