Question

can someone please walk me through how to solve this problem? I followed the steps in the book but got every single one of them wrong.
Root(-17) * root(-51)

Answer 1

Root(-17) * root(-51)=root((-17)*(-51))=root(867)

Answer 2

what are the step involved in getting the answer? That's the problem I'm having

Answer 3

huh i am stumped

Answer 4

We know that √–1 = i
So i^2 = -1
√-17 * √-51
= i√17 * i√51
= i^2 * √(17*51)
= - √867

Answer 5

\[
\begin{align*}
&\sqrt{-17}\times\sqrt{-51} \\
=&\sqrt{-17\times-51} \\
=&\sqrt{867}
\end{align*}
\]
