Operations with Imaginary Numbers

Why do we get imaginary numbers?

• When a square root has a positive on the outside

  $3x^2\sqrt{14x}$

• When a square root has a negative on the outside $-3x^2\sqrt{14x}$

• When a square root has a positive on the inside $\sqrt{14}$

• When a square root has a negative on the inside $\sqrt{-14}$
