<p>The<a>square</a>root is the inverse<a>of</a>the square of the<a>number</a>. The number -18 is not a<a>perfect square</a>and does not have a real square root because the square of any<a>real number</a>is non-negative. The square root of -18 is expressed in<a>terms</a>of<a>imaginary numbers</a>. In the radical form, it is expressed as √(-18), whereas in exponential form it is written as (-18)^(1/2). The square root of -18 is an imaginary number and is simplified to 3i√2, where i is the imaginary unit.</p>

<h3>Explanation</h3>
38
<p>For a complex number z = a + bi, the modulus is given by |z| = √(a² + b²). Here, z = 0 + 3i√2, so |z| = √(0² + (3√2)²) = √(18) = 3√2.</p>
