<p>The<a>square</a>root is the inverse<a>of</a>the square of the<a>number</a>. Since -23 is a<a>negative number</a>, the square root of -23 is not a<a>real number</a>. Instead, it is expressed as an<a>imaginary number</a>. In radical form, it is expressed as √(-23), which can be rewritten as<a>i</a>√23, where i is the imaginary unit. The exponential form would be (23)^(1/2) i. Since it involves the imaginary unit, it is not a real number.</p>
