Function which becomes just a relation on $R^{-}$?

Consider the function on the variable $xin R$ and the parameter $ain R$:
$$f(x)=frac{a-sqrt{x}}{a+sqrt{x}}$$
Of course if $x>=0$ you have a simple function $f:R rightarrow R$.

If $x<0$ you can write:
$$f(x)=frac{a-sqrt{(-1)(-x)}}{a+sqrt{(-1)(-x)}}$$
$$f(x)=frac{a-[pm isqrt{(-x)}]}{a+[pm i sqrt{(-x)}]}$$
So now there are 4 possibilities according to the signs you put:
$$binom{+}{+} rightarrow f(x)=frac{a-[isqrt{(-x)}]}{a+[i sqrt{(-x)}]}=e^{itheta(x)} $$
$$binom{+}{-} rightarrow f(x)=frac{a-[+isqrt{(-x)}]}{a+[-i sqrt{(-x)}]}=1 $$
$$binom{-}{+} rightarrow f(x)=frac{a-[-isqrt{(-x)}]}{a+[+i sqrt{(-x)}]} =1$$
$$binom{-}{-} rightarrow f(x)=frac{a-[-isqrt{(-x)}]}{a+[-i sqrt{(-x)}]} e^{-itheta(x)} $$
Finally:
$$ f(x)=begin{cases}
1 \
e^{-itheta(x)}\
e^{itheta(x)}
end{cases}
$$

So I'd say that for $x<0$ $f(x)$ isn't anymore a function...Is it right?
