Simplify the following expression. √-144√-48 Must show work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the problem the sqrt (-144*sqrt(-48)) or is it the (sqrt(-144))(sqrt(-48))?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Either way, sqrt(-144) = 12i, i being an imaginary number since the square root of a negative number does not have a real result, and likewise the sqrt(-48) = sqrt(-16*3) = 4i*sqrt3. So plug those into whatever the original question was.
