HELLP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(\sqrt{5} -\sqrt{-4}) (\sqrt{35}-\sqrt{-28})\] evaluate the expression in the form a+bi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have an answer and work but its not correct i dont know what im doing wrong?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(\sqrt{175}+4\sqrt{7}) -(4\sqrt{35}) i \]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

You need to simplify sqrt175

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which before simplifying help by a "tutor" i got

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{175}-4i \sqrt{35}-4\sqrt{7}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5 sqrt 7 ?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[(\sqrt{5}-2i)(\sqrt{35}-2\sqrt{7}i)=5\sqrt{7}-10\sqrt{35}i-2\sqrt{35}i+4\sqrt{7}i^2\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Work on that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait... hold your train lol ... how did you get all those numbers?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Be more specific. What number in particular are you unclear about?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well when you got -10 sqrt 35i why is the i on the inside ? because when foiling it was on the outside?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait no hold on.. let me look at this for a minnute ...

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[\sqrt{175}=\sqrt{25(7)}=5\sqrt{7}\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The i is not on the inside

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so now tell me where did you come up with \[10\sqrt{35}\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

That's actually a mistake. Both the outer and inner should be -2sqrt35 (i)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhhh okaii ... makes sence now thats what i got ... so just a minnute while i keep calculating

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-4\sqrt{35i}-\sqrt{7}\]
