<p>The<a>square</a>root is the inverse of the square of a<a>number</a>. Since we are dealing with a<a>negative number</a>, we cannot find a real square root, but rather an imaginary one. The square root of -38 is expressed in<a>terms</a>of the imaginary unit 'i'. In the radical form, it is expressed as √-38, which can be written as i√38. This value is imaginary because it involves the square root of a negative number.</p>
