Description: The square root of a negative number. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 29-May-2016)

Ref Expression
Hypotheses resqrcld.1 ( 𝜑𝐴 ∈ ℝ )
resqrcld.2 ( 𝜑 → 0 ≤ 𝐴 )
Assertion sqrtnegd ( 𝜑 → ( √ ‘ - 𝐴 ) = ( i · ( √ ‘ 𝐴 ) ) )

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 resqrcld.1 ( 𝜑𝐴 ∈ ℝ )
2 resqrcld.2 ( 𝜑 → 0 ≤ 𝐴 )
3 sqrtneg ( ( 𝐴 ∈ ℝ ∧ 0 ≤ 𝐴 ) → ( √ ‘ - 𝐴 ) = ( i · ( √ ‘ 𝐴 ) ) )
