please help me with this square root problem...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\left( -5-\sqrt{-9} \right)^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16+i10*9^1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well what is -5 *-5? remember negative times negative is a positive then what is rt-9^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25 and 3 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and rvgupta, i come up with that answer too but its not one of my multiple choice options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25 is correct, but if you sq rt a number and then sq it again you get the original number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you've rooted it but not re-squared it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is 9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that an option?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for some reason i keep coming up with 16-10i\[\sqrt{9}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is 16 + 30i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did the 10i come from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am not really sure... i know i worked it out wrong, and 10i isnt even an option....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

think of it this way -5*-5 -rt9*-rt9 -5*-rt9 -5*-rt9 and add all those together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16+30i
