Square Root of -97

The square root is the inverse of the square of a number. Since -97 is negative, its square root is not a real number; it is a complex number. The square root of -97 is expressed in the form of √(-97), which can be written as √97 * i, where i is the imaginary unit. In exponential form, it can be expressed as (-97)^(1/2). The value of √97 is approximately 9.84886, making √(-97) approximately 9.84886i.

For negative numbers, the square root involves complex numbers. The imaginary unit 'i' is defined as √-1. To find the square root of -97, we first find the square root of 97 and then multiply it by 'i'. Since 97 is not a perfect square, approximation methods or calculators are typically used for precision.

The approximation method helps in finding the square roots of non-perfect squares. Here’s how to approximate √(-97):

Step 1: Find the square root of 97 using the approximation method. The closest perfect squares around 97 are 81 (9^2) and 100 (10^2). Thus, √97 is between 9 and 10.

Step 2: Use linear approximation. (Given number - smaller perfect square) / (larger perfect square - smaller perfect square) = (97 - 81) / (100 - 81) = 16 / 19 ≈ 0.842.

Step 3: Add this value to 9, the square root of 81. 9 + 0.842 ≈ 9.842. Thus, √97 ≈ 9.842.

Step 4: Multiply by 'i' to get the square root of -97. Therefore, √(-97) ≈ 9.842i.

Imaginary numbers arise from the need to find square roots of negative numbers. The unit imaginary number is 'i', defined as √-1. Therefore, any negative number's square root can be expressed as a product involving 'i'. For example, the square root of -97 is √97 * i, approximately 9.84886i. Understanding imaginary numbers is crucial in fields such as electrical engineering and physics, where they are used to represent oscillations and waveforms.
