Doesn't make much sense. :-P

 Shit happens. When I see x^2 and think of complex numbers, I think of two roots. This can imply that there are two solutions.

As I said, doesn't make much sense.
Hint: An equation like x^2 = c (with c e IR or c e C \ {R}) has "roots" (i.e. solutions).
Some examples:
x^2 = 0
=> x = 0.
x^2 = 1
=> x = 1 or x = -1.
x^2 = -1
=> x = i or x = -1.
