\[(-2+\sqrt{100})^2\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[-2^2 + \sqrt{100}^2\]
what's -2 * -2
and the sqrt of 100 squared just cancels the sqrt and the square thus making it 100

4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4+100i
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[(-2+\sqrt{100})(-2+\sqrt{100})\] they don't cancel

\[\sqrt{100} * \sqrt{100}\]
doesn't cancle?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
just the sqrt
OpenStudy (anonymous):
100i?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its -100
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[(-2+\sqrt{100})(-2+\sqrt{100})\]
i forgot you have to FOIL it out
first outer inner last

\[\sqrt{-100}\] i for got the negative
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes so you can rewrite this as
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt{-1}\sqrt{100}\]
where \[\sqrt{-1}=i\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you know that \[\sqrt{100}=10\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so now you have
\[(-2+10i)(-2+10i)\]

is it -100 or positive?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
negative sorry
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so foiling you et
\[4-20i-20i+100i^2\]
kowing that \[i^2=-1\]
\[4-40i-100\]
\[-96-40i\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i have the answer -96-40i
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that is the correct answer
