<p>The<a>square</a>root is the inverse operation of squaring a<a>number</a>. Since -289 is negative, its square root is not a<a>real number</a>. Instead, it is expressed using the imaginary unit. The square root of -289 can be written as √-289, which simplifies to 17i, where i is the imaginary unit defined by i² = -1.</p>
