OpenStudy (snowcrystal):

\[\sqrt{-23}\]

OpenStudy (snowcrystal):

i dont

OpenStudy (snowcrystal):

google aint workin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't even think -23 could be a sqaure root.

OpenStudy (snowcrystal):

:/ then i did my math wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What were you doing?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

square root of a negative number is not a real number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah -23 is an imagninary number.

OpenStudy (snowcrystal):

\[\frac{ -1\pm \sqrt{1-24} }{ 4 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4,79583152 i

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

You can't apply the quadratic equation to this. It's just the express sqrt(-23)

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

expression*

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

What strenesmee says is correct. You can also rewrite it as: \[\sqrt{23*-1}\]

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Where sqrt(-1) = i. It'll be sqrt(23)*i

OpenStudy (snowcrystal):

he asked what my math problem was and that is it i was trying to solve it and got stuck

OpenStudy (snowcrystal):

im confused on what im supposed to do next

OpenStudy (snowcrystal):

@MathLegend help please

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

If that is your answer... you should write \[\sqrt{-23} = 23i\]
