Answer:

it would have a negative and a positive number.

Explanation:

it has a multiple answers so why do we pick the positive one? if x2=16⟹x=√16 or x=−√16 for respectively the positive and negative solution. This implies that the square root function has a single answer and we must negate itsanswer to obtain the second solution.
