What is \(\sqrt{144}\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

root(144)=12 root(-1)=i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i just forgot to do something with the i

OpenStudy (zepp):

Great, this can be written as \(\sqrt{-1*144}\) and since \(\sqrt{-1}=1\), then \(\sqrt{-144}=12i\)

OpenStudy (zepp):

\(\sqrt{-1}=i\), sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (zepp):

Just break it in half following the rule \(\sqrt{a*b}=\sqrt{a}*\sqrt{b}\), you're welcome :)
