For \[\large \sqrt{-48}\]always start by "pulling out" the \(\large \sqrt{-1}\). Eg, for a>0: \(\large \sqrt{-a}=\sqrt{-1\cdot a}=\sqrt{-1}\cdot \sqrt{a}=i\sqrt{a}\) After that, you can simplify the part under the square root just as you normally would. But get the i out of the way first. I'll do a similar example: \(\large \sqrt{-45}=\sqrt{-1\cdot 45}=\sqrt{-1}\cdot \sqrt{9\cdot 5}=i\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{5}=3i\sqrt{5}\) Now try yours. :)
