The sum is 0

Explanation:

So the square roots of 9/4 are

sqrt(9/4)=+-(3)/2

When you square root a number you get a positive and negative answer. This is because when you square or multiply together to negative numbers you still get a positive number as you would multiplying two positive numbers.

The sum is the total of a set of numbers added together.

So if we add the roots

3/2+(-3/2)=3/2-3/2=0

We get 0. If you sum the square roots of any number you will get 0 as you get both a positive and negative answer.
