This is extremely off topic but I figured somebody could tell me here.
The square root of 0 according to my handy-dandy TI-83 is 0. But, here
is where I am lost. Wouldn't the below equation rule 0 as non-real?

   ___        2
  / 2   --   X
\/ X    --  ---
             X

If X was zero make this impossible? And if not then how can you prove
the square root of 0 is 0.

BTW, forgive my ignorance if this something that isn't that complicated.
