square root of -5 multiplied by square root of 5
-5 and 5 does not have a perfect square root.
\[\sqrt{-5} \times \sqrt{5}\]
So what does that mean?
The square root is between 2 and 3.
I dont get it
the square root is either 2.5 or below.
\[\large \sqrt{-1}=i\] The square root of negative one is the imaginary number i. Factorising the square root of negative 5 we get: \[\large \sqrt{-5}\times \sqrt{5}=(\sqrt{5}\times \sqrt{5})i\]
The get the answer, which is an imaginary number, just simplify the bracketed terms.
How do I simplify bracketed terms
Multiply the square root of 5 by the square root of 5.
I think its. \[\sqrt{-5} {\times} \sqrt{5} = \sqrt[4]{-25}\]
That makes more sense. @Teddyiswatshecallsme
Im confused now.
\[\large (\sqrt{5}\times \sqrt{5})i=5i\]
Its -5
The correct result must be an imaginary number.
So is @Teddyiswatshecallsme right or @kropot72
Has anybody given Teddy a medal?
No
@basketball305 Who will judge which is the correct answer?
@kropot72 is absolutely correct. Trust the person that shows there work, because if they are wrong you can find it in their work \(\sqrt{5}\sqrt{-5}=\sqrt{5}\sqrt{-1*5}=\sqrt{5}\sqrt{5}\sqrt{-1}=5\sqrt{-1}=5i\)
