If I read this correctly, the numbers that belong to B are reals and satisfy √ [x^2 ]   =  - x

 

Note that    √[x^2]  is defined as   l x l

 

So.......

 

l x l  = - x        when    x  =   (- infinity, 0 ]

Notice that

 

l 0 l  =  - 0   =  0

 

Now....suppose that x is negative

 

So

 

l x  l  =  - x

 

For instance ..... suppose that x = - 3   .....we have......

 

l  -3 l =  - (-3)  =  3
