Your question has been heard loud and clear

√-36 is by no means a real number. This is because square roots can only be positive in nature.

Eg: -2*-2 = 4 and 2*2 = 4 , so √4 = -2 or 2 but √-4 doesnt exist.

So , √-36 also does not exist while √36 exists.

√-36 , we can however represent it as an imaginary number as 36i

Thank you
