Express the number in terms of i.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{-32}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{(8)^{2}*(4)^{2}}\] or something like that.. right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\sqrt{32}=\sqrt{16\times 2}=\sqrt{16}\sqrt{2}=4\sqrt{2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4i * (squrt) 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since you have a \(-\) sign in there, it will be \(4\sqrt{2}i\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

make sure you write the \(i\) outside of the radical

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, i meant @Mhm120

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Understood. How would we solve the same question if it was a fraction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the same way you got an example?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{\frac{- 1 }{ 9 }}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[( \sqrt{-1} / \sqrt{9} ) = ( \sqrt{1} / \sqrt{9} )i = 1/3i\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Understood.
