<p>The square root of -100 is ±10i.</p>
22
<p>The square root of -100 is ±10i.</p>
24
<p>Squaring this gives: (10i)² = 100 * i² = 100 * (-1) = -100.</p>
23
<p>Squaring this gives: (10i)² = 100 * i² = 100 * (-1) = -100.</p>
25
<p>Similarly, (-10i)² = 100 * (-1) = -100.</p>
24
<p>Similarly, (-10i)² = 100 * (-1) = -100.</p>
26
<p>Thus, squaring the square root returns the original number, -100.</p>
