False positive numbers have positive square roots

Deshawn · Answer 2

The square root of any positive number has two answers - - one positive answer and the other negative. They have the same magnitude but are opposites.

For example, the square root of 9 is - 3 and 3.

-3*-3 = 9

3*3=9

So, yes positive numbers do have negative square roots.
