Hi..Wanna ask this.. Can I get the answer?

OpenStudy (imtant):

\[\frac{ 21.53333 }{ \sqrt{74.9833\times-338.5667} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-0.135147...i

OpenStudy (imtant):

How do you get it?Can you explain that? :)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\Large\rm =\frac{ 21.53333 }{ \sqrt{74.9833\times-338.5667} }\]Calculator dude bro :U\[\Large\rm =\frac{ 21.53333 }{ \sqrt{-25386.84844} }\]You get a negative under your root, yes?

OpenStudy (imtant):

Yes, I got negative..

OpenStudy (imtant):

So, can it be settle down?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

We can rewrite \(\Large\rm \sqrt{-25386.84844}\) as \(\Large\rm \sqrt{-1}\cdot\sqrt{25386.84844}\)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

And then recall that we use i, the imaginary unit, for \(\Large\rm\sqrt{-1}\)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

So our expression becomes:\[\Large\rm =\frac{ 21.53333 }{ \mathcal i\sqrt{25386.84844} }\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

But we don't want the \(\Large\rm \mathcal i\) in the denominator, we'll use this identity:\[\Large\rm \frac{1}{\mathcal i}=-\mathcal i\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Giving us:\[\Large\rm =\frac{ -21.53333\mathcal i }{\sqrt{25386.84844} }\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Then use your calculator from there :d Take the square root.. then divide.

OpenStudy (imtant):

Okay, it's very good explanation. I get that. Tyvm, @zepdrix ..:) Really appreciate that.
