This is the basic fact you need to start with:
\[i=\sqrt{-1}\]
From there we get
\[i^2=-1\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1. (-3i)² = (-3)²(i)² = 9(-1) = -9
make sense?
OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):
Oh ok cuz the 2 is saying 3 x 3=9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
right
OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):
Sweet
OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):
ok so 3 would be like 5x5 since theres a 2 or it would be that and 2x2 because they all have the exponent of 2

they would all have the exponent
OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):
ok so it will be 5x5 and 2x2
