<p>The<a>square</a>root<a>of</a>a<a>number</a>is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number. Since -121 is a<a>negative number</a>, its square root involves an imaginary unit. The square root of -121 is expressed using the imaginary unit \(<a>i</a>\), where \(i = \sqrt{-1}\). Thus, \(\sqrt{-121} = 11i\) because \(11i \times 11i = 121i^2 = -121\).</p>
