Do you mean, \[(\sqrt{-6})(\sqrt{-18})\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Are you familiar with complex numbers?
\[(√-6)(√-18) = (6i)(18i)\]
\[= 108i^2 - 108(-1) = -108 \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[(i \sqrt{6})(i \sqrt{18})\]
\[ -\sqrt{6}\sqrt{18}\]
\[-\sqrt{108}\]
\[-6\sqrt{3}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[ \sqrt{-6} \times \sqrt{-18}\]
OpenStudy (theviper):
Yes \[\LARGE{\sqrt{-6}\times\sqrt{-18}}\]\[\LARGE{=\sqrt{-6\times-18}}\]\[\LARGE{=\sqrt{108}}\]

@jricafort here are two \(i\) therefore it will become +
OpenStudy (zarkon):
jricafort is correct
OpenStudy (theviper):
why ?
OpenStudy (zarkon):
you are using a rule incorrectly
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@TheViper \[i ^{2} = -1, i ^{3} = -i, i ^{4} = 1, \]

if \(a,b\ge 0\) then \[\sqrt{a}\sqrt{b}=\sqrt{ab}\]
this is not true is a,b<0
OpenStudy (zarkon):
this is not true if a,b<0
OpenStudy (theviper):
\[\LARGE{\sqrt{-6}\times\sqrt{-18}}\]\[\LARGE{=\sqrt{-1}\times\sqrt{-1}\times\sqrt{6}\times\sqrt{18}}\]\[\LARGE{=(\sqrt{-1})^2}\times{108}\]\[\LARGE{=-1\times108=-108}\]
OpenStudy (theviper):
Sorry!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you everyone(:
