ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
easy
OpenStudy (anonymous):
first find the root of -27
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it should be \[3\sqrt{-3}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then multiply the three

-3 ?? O_O
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and get \[9\sqrt{-3}\] iguess
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes radicals are confusing
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[3\sqrt{-27}\] then, the largest square into that is 9, aka \[3\sqrt{3\times3\times-3}\] then take the two 3s out, and you get\[3\times3\sqrt{-3}\] add together like terms and you get\[9\sqrt{-3}\] BUT you cant ever have a negative radical, so you multiply by
i, which is an imiganary number for radicals (basically multiplying by -1) and in the end you get \[9i \sqrt{3}\] which is your final answer

oh, well guessed i learned something too

im a little further ahead in math i guess, so this is kinda simple, but a good base point you should know
