5 <p>The<a>square</a>root of a<a>negative number</a>involves<a>complex numbers</a>, as no<a>real number</a>squared equals a negative number. The square root of -216 is expressed using the imaginary unit 'i', where i² = -1. Thus, the square root of -216 is written as √(-216) = √216 * i, which simplifies to approximately 14.7i. This is because √216 is approximately 14.7, and multiplying by i gives the imaginary result.</p>
