this was the prob.
and it had both the options x as well as -x
however, i came across in the OG that root of a no will always be positive...

so sq root(9) will be 3

and therefore i think, sq root of (-3*-3) will also be 3

Plzz ignore my previous reply.. dont know how to delete that... :?

See Square root of a no can be +ve or -ve
And Sqaure root of a -ve no is not possible, its undefined

So for this question
if x<0 , then Sq.Root(-x*|x|) is

assume x=-4

Sq.Root(-(-4)*|-4|) = Sq.Root (4*4) = Sq.Root (16 ) = +4 or -4

So the answer to this question is x and -x
