First distribute, what do you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I don't know. I forgot how to do it.

distributing follows this method
a(b+c) = ab + ac
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
distribute to get
\[\Large\sqrt{-10} (11+\sqrt{-5})\]
\[\Large 11\sqrt{-10}+\sqrt{-10}\sqrt{-5}\]
\[\Large 11\sqrt{-1*10}+\sqrt{-1*10}\sqrt{-1*5}\]
\[\Large 11*\sqrt{-1}\sqrt{10}+\sqrt{-1}*\sqrt{10}*\sqrt{-1}\sqrt{5}\]
Keep going...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Uh...
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
Use the fact that \[\Large i = \sqrt{-1}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay so isqrt5 ?

\[\Large 11*i\sqrt{10}+i*\sqrt{10}*i\sqrt{5}\]
\[\Large 11*i\sqrt{10}+i^2*\sqrt{10*5}\]
What's next?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I honestly have no clue...
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
i^2 = ???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
i = sqrt(-1) agreed?
