\[\sqrt{12}/\sqrt{-6}=i \sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ahaines14 its supposed to be a fraction

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

with complex numbers i^2 = -1 so the problem can be written as \[\frac {\sqrt{12}}{\sqrt{-6}} = \sqrt{\frac{12}{-6}} = \sqrt{-2}\] then using i^2 \[\sqrt{-2} = \sqrt{i^2 \times2} = i \sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

question 2 has the binomials in the numerator will result in the diffference of 2 squares \[\frac{2+ \sqrt{-3}}{2} \times \frac{2 - \sqrt{-3}}{2}=\frac{ 4 - (-3)}{4} = \]

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

which gives an answer of \[\frac{7}{4}\]

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

7/4 is the answer to question 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you @campbell_st

OpenStudy (radar):

\[\sqrt{12}\over \sqrt{-6}\]\[2\sqrt{3}\over \sqrt{3}\sqrt{-2}\]\[2\over \sqrt{-2}\]\[2\sqrt{-2}\over-2\]\[-\sqrt{2}\sqrt{-1}=-i \sqrt{2}\]
