and why is that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[(\sqrt{-10})(11+\sqrt{-5}) = 11\sqrt{-10}+(\sqrt{-5})(\sqrt{-10}) = 11\sqrt{-10}+ \sqrt{50} = 11\sqrt{-10} +5\sqrt{2} = (11i \sqrt{10} +5\sqrt{2})\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ooo okay thanks i see it :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[11\sqrt{-10} +5\sqrt{2} = 11i \sqrt{10}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
+ 5 sqrt(2)

No the correct answer is C.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
O yeah okay yeah because you have to divide the i so it moves top which makes the fraction a negative
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[(\frac{ 3 }{ 4i }) = (\frac{ 3i }{ 4i^2 }) \]
In this case I timed the numerator and denomintor by i
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the i^2 = -1
So it would be -3i/4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah i see. user error forgot i had to do that. Thanks so much !! :D
