Find the negative square root of 481\frac{4}{81}. Express the answer as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or whole number.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We need to find the negative square root of the fraction 481\frac{4}{81}.
2. The result should be expressed as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or whole number.

STEP 2

The square root of a fraction can be found by taking the square root of the numerator and the denominator separately.
ab=ab\sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} = \frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}}

STEP 3

Apply this property to the given fraction.
481=481\sqrt{\frac{4}{81}} = \frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{81}}

STEP 4

Calculate the square root of the numerator and the denominator.
4=2\sqrt{4} = 2 81=9\sqrt{81} = 9

STEP 5

Substitute the square roots back into the fraction.
481=29\sqrt{\frac{4}{81}} = \frac{2}{9}

STEP 6

Since we are looking for the negative square root, we add a negative sign to the result.
481=29-\sqrt{\frac{4}{81}} = -\frac{2}{9}
The negative square root of 481\frac{4}{81} is 29-\frac{2}{9}.
