Answer:
Square root is not defined for negative numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to determine why the value of [tex]\sqrt{-9}[/tex] is not [tex]-3[/tex].
We know that square root of a negative number is not defined. To find the square root of negative number we use imaginary unit [tex]i[/tex].
We know that [tex]i^2=-1[/tex], so we can solve [tex]\sqrt{-9}[/tex] as:
[tex]\sqrt{-1\times 9}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{i^2\times 3^2}[/tex]
[tex]3i[/tex]
Therefore, the solution of our given expression would be [tex]3i[/tex] not [tex]-3[/tex].
