    ​​​​​​​@venkovic No, OP is correct, multiplicative property of roots holds only for real numbers (in general, cube roots or higher are included), and you can't take a square root of a negative number in reals, so in reals √-2 is already wrong. "But we talk about complex numbers". Ok, if you insist, then saying that it holds for complex numbers "as long as at least one number is non-negative" is also wrong, because for any complex number z (and that includes 2) something like z≥0 (non-negative that is) doesn't make sense, since complex numbers are an unordered field. And also unless you specifically say that √ in your √-2 stands for the principal root you can't even say that √-2=i√2 (it should have ± in the front), it will be wrong. But for a principal root multiplicative property also doesn't hold just like it does not hold for an algebraic root in complex numbers. So all of this is completely wrong, this is not how you deal with complex or real numbers, for the love of God stop trying to mix the two. Basically, you here try to create your own function from real to complex numbers, use for it a symbol (√) that is already stands for like up to three to four functions and pass it as standard mathematics. This is not how any of it works

    There's a lot of confusion in the comments stemming from something that, unfortunately, they don't teach you until complex analysis class, which is that the √x operation is not the same as (x)^(1/2) operation, but rather, the former is a specific case of the latter specified on something called a "principal branch". Basically, if you take the equation y = x^(1/n), then there are n possible solutions of x on the complex plane, which makes x^(1/n) not strictly a function. If you want to define a function and call it the "nth root of x", you have to basically define it as "that solution to y = x^(1/n) that happens to lie in THIS region in the complex plane". The square root happens to be one of those functions, where it's basically "the square root of x is the solution to y = x^(1/2) that falls on the _right half_ of the complex plane." The reason this means that the first method doesn't work and the second does is because you can show that, if you specify a branch, then a product of square roots is not generally equal to a square root of products. This can be proven using complex analysis, but here's an intuitive explanation. The principal branch square root requires an output in the right half of the complex plane. So, for a product of square roots, each factor must lie in the right half of the complex plane, but their product doesn't have to. However, by definition of principal square root, a square root of a product _must_ lie in the right half of the complex plane.

You can think of it as an expansion of your normal real numbers line into a plane to both sides of it - i.e. numbers that lie outside it ( or on it ). These complex numbers and complex functions have a lot of interesting and very useful properties - for instance in calculating otherwise difficult integrals and sums of various series, solving differential equations, AC power distribution, spectral analysis of analog and digital signals ( Fourier series & Fourier transforms, Laplace Transforms, analog and digital filters, control systems ), acoustics, physics ( oscillations ) and quantum mechanics etc. They also combine the properties of numbers with the properties of vectors (additions, subtraction, "length" ( magnitude ) - multiplication & division both involving a scaling of the magnitude and a rotation of the complex number ("vector") in the complex plane. All our normal numbers and operations on them are really just special cases of these complex numbers and these extended operations on them - it's like some sort of higher dimensional shadow world, so to speak 😉 - and they do actually make mathematical sense - satisfying certain conditions - , even though they may seem very weird at a first glance 😬 ). There are several really cool videos about these topics on KZread, so I suggest that you watch those, as they explain these fascinating concepts far better that I am able to do here - also graphically of course.

    When extending the square root function to the complex plane (which cannot be avoided here), you _have_ to specify the branch that you're using, and also mention whether the extension to the negative reals was made through the upper or the lower half-plane, which would indicate whether sqrt(-1) is "i" or "-i". In fact, in the example from the video, the two roots don't necessarily have to be from the same branch. If you take different branches for each root, you get +4, and -4 otherwise. P.S. no, the imaginary unit is _not_ defined as sqrt(-1) (because of this whole thing with multivalued functions that would make a lot of mess), rather, "i^2 = -1" is its property resulting from the multiplication rule in the complex plane (or, equivalently, it's defined as one of the roots of x^2 +1 = 0, doesn't matter which one, as long as it's fixed throughout the whole theory). P.S. #2 Don't you find it strange that sqrt(-2)×sqrt(-8) cannot, according to the author, be written as sqrt((-2)×(-8)), but sqrt(-2) = sqrt((-1)×2) = sqrt(-1)×sqrt(2) no problem? -1 seems like a privileged individual that you can take in and out of the root, but not any other number 😅 (again, it all comes down to the specific branch and where you insert the branch cut)

    √16 is +4 ... Solving for n where n^2 = 16 is +-√16 so +- 4.. it is true to say when not zero a number has two square roots. but the √ symbol means principal square root ie positive so the video is correct. √-1 is i So √-2 is (√2)i so √2*√8*i^2 = √16 *-1 =-4.

Without precisely determining the definition on what the "sqare root" is (since there are more different functions called the same name) the discussion on this topic can easily open the door of philosophy.

    sqrt(a) as defined in high-school maths is ill-defined when 'a' is allowed to be negative. In high school we define sqrt(a) as the nonnegative root of the polynomial x^2 - a. E.g. x^2 - 4 → x ∈ {2, -2} so we define sqrt(4) = 2. However the roots of x^2 + 4 are {2i, -2i}. Neither of them are positive; they fall outside the real number line! Ok, then define sqrt(-a) = sqrt(a)i (for positive real 'a'). You can do this, but the property sqrt(x)sqrt(y) = sqrt(xy) no longer holds! This is due to the fact that unlike the positive real numbers, the upper imaginary line is not closed under multiplication!

    You should consider in this case that sqrt(x²) is + or - x, both for the fist case and the second, so the answer is + or - 4, and that's because with negatives taking the square root means solving the equation x²=whatever number you want to take the square root of, and that is + or - x Source: my father, university professor of maths (or at least that's how he explained to me, I'm reading many other explanations here which might be things he didn't tell me) PS sorry for formatting, I'm writing from mobile

    Isn't that because if you have for example √9=3 as a result from √x²=y, then x is either +3 or -3 since sqaring either results in 9, and y is thus ±x as a result of two values for x. It doesn't mean that y is negative. √x² = |x| according to what I was taught and I just checked that wolfram alpha affirms that

    He forgets to mention that this is (of course) the complex square root function, which "happens" to be "identical" to the normal real square root function on the positive part of the real axis & in the point x = 0 ( + 0i ). Yes, you are right - in complex analysis it's allowed to work with socalled multivalued (!) functions - like a group of different plausible branches that satisfy the given conditions. So in this case he will need to look at all combinations of +/- i sqrt(2) & +/- i sqrt(8) ( where sqrt refers to the real square root function), which produces these 4 results, which turns out to be just two: 1) i sqrt(2) x i sqrt(8) = -1 x sqrt(16) = -4 2 i sqrt(2) x ( -i (sqrt(8) ) = +1 x sqrt(16) = 4 3 -i sqrt(2) x i sqrt(8) = +1 x sqrt(16) = 4 4 -i sqrt(2) x ( -i sqrt(8)) = -1 x sqrt(16) = -4 So +4 is actually a solution (contrary to his claim! ), and so is -4.

    Normally, it depends on how you _define_ the √□ operation. And as long as you explain the full chain of reasoning and it starts with a reasonable definition, I'd say the reasoning is valid. Of course, if you have a test-like question where you have to produce the same text as what's written on the sheet labeled "correct answers"... Then it's a game of either "memorize this particular textbook and not another textbook" or "guess the answer". The answer here can be any of "4", "-4", "±4", "expression is ill-defined".

    @@gabrieleymat6332 A "√□" is a symbol. Nothing internally inconsistent would happen if you were to define it as "all numbers that produce □ when multiplied by themselves". For example, in a residue field modulo 7, 3²=4²=2. In this case, trying to find a "principal" value of √2 would be very much futile. And even if you insist to take a positive value for real numbers (why? because a particular textbook said so? how you would arrive to this conclusion if you were inventing all math from scratch?), you still have the same problem with complex numbers: i and -i don't differ in any reasonable way. In some cases, it may be important to take the value in "the same direction" for both roots: you can write √-1x√-1 = ixi *or* √-1x√-1 = (-i)x(-i) but not √-1x√-1 = ix(-i). Like when solving cubic equations, you get an expression ³√a+³√b and then you have to sum the "right" pairs of cubic roots of a and b.

Since both a and b are negative in this situation, we have to use complex numbers to solve the expression. √(-a) × √(-b) = i√(a) × i√(b) = i^2 × √(a × b) Since i^2 = -1, and √ only returns the positive root, the answer to √(-a) × √(-b) only yields negative solutions. The end result is only -4, +4 is not a solution.

    Sqrt of 16 is equal to 4 or -4, so any way you do it, it is right way to solve it.

    I would argue that both solutions are right and wrong at the same time. Since √16 = ±4 and -√16 = ±4, the solution should be ±4 in both cases. Choosing one arbitrarily is just that, an arbitrary choice. Basically, the rules for arithmetic with roots hold. You can't just disregard the second solution and say that these rules don't hold for some complex numbers.

    @@IoDavide1 square root by definition refers to the positive root of x²=16. square root as an operator itself doesn't give you both the roots. Because if that was the case then we couldn't raise both sides of an equation to fractional powers. Suppose sqrt(1) =+-1 1=1, square rooting both sides (raising powers in both side to 1/2) We would get 1=-1 as a solution. Hence by convention 16 to the power 1/2 (ie. Sqrt(16)) gives only 4 (the absolute value)

    ​@@kartavyasharma7266thats only true when x is a real number. If you inclide the complex plain, both negative and positive solutions are real solutions. And because we included the complex plain at the start, we cant ignore it. Look at the start of the problem, sqrt(-2)=i×sqrt(2) AND -i×sqrt(2) Same for the 8, and then we can see that theres actually 2 solutions, + and - 4

    Consider: sqrt(16) = +/- 4 Just accept the square root as naturally and inherently multivalued instead of arbitrarily defining it as positive. Gets at the heart of the matter and resolves all discrepancies without any overcomplicated notions of branch cuts etc. Now both methods are equally correct: sqrt(-8)*sqrt(-2) = sqrt(16) = +/- 4 sqrt(-8)*sqrt(-2) = i*i*sqrt(16) = -1*+/-4 = +/-4

    Nobody denies the square roots of 16 are 4 and -4, but √ does NOT yield the square roots - it yields the POSITIVE square root. If you want both, you need to write this x² = 16 -- > x = +/ - √16 because √16 = 4 There is no discussion on that - it's simply using the defintion of the function/symbol √ If you use a different definition, you're solving a different problem. If you solve a different problem, you get a different answer.
