\[4\sqrt{-225}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how is this done
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay, here's how to deal with square root of negative numbers
\[\sqrt{-b}=i \sqrt{b}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay
OpenStudy (anonymous):
try it on your expression

the sqrt of -225 is 15
OpenStudy (anonymous):
15 and ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
15
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sqrt[225]=15
what's
sqrt[-225]= ?
look at my example above

you are one of the few that actually help the person understand the problem
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay so would it be sqrt-225 and 4 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4 sqrt and 15 right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt{-b}=i \sqrt{b}\]
\[\sqrt{-225}=i\sqrt{225}=15i\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay now I have the understanding of it I was trying to think of what you was saying my bad

Here's more elaboration of what I did
\[\sqrt{-1}=i\]
\[\sqrt{-225}=\sqrt{225}*\sqrt{-1}=\sqrt{225}i=15i\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay now it looks more readable
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now you can multiply by 4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
15i*4=60i right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
