Given the value:

-80

Determine the square root of -80

Solution:

In order to determine the square root of -80, we simply needed to enclose the value with a radical sign, or simply raised the value by ½. Hence, we must take note that negative numbers do not have a square root, as a result, it will become a complex or imaginary number, which is designated by the sign i.

= (-80)^½

= 8.9i

Final answer:

= 8.9i
