\[(\sqrt{-25})^{2} -\sqrt{-121} = 625-11 which equals 614\]
Vocaloid (vocaloid):
nope
OpenStudy (baru):
square root of negative numbers do not exist
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
oh okay
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol sure they do

OpenStudy (baru):
they are 'imaginary'
OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):
vocaloid u were right...
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
so it would be 625i - 11i ?
OpenStudy (shamil98):
what happens when a square root is multiplied to a square root...
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
i dont know

what is \[\sqrt{25}\]
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
5
OpenStudy (baru):
have you learnt imaginary numbers?
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
I started the lesson yesterday
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
so yea I kind of know about them

what is
\[\sqrt{25\times25}\]
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
625
OpenStudy (baru):
what is \[25 \times25\]
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
625
OpenStudy (baru):
how can \[\sqrt{25\times25}=625 \\and\\25\times25=625\]
??

OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
for the square root it would equal 25 ? and then 25*25 = 625
OpenStudy (baru):
yes
\[\sqrt{25 \times 25}=25\\25\times25=625\]
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
okay
OpenStudy (baru):
whats an imaginary number?
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
An imaginary number is a complex number that can be written like a eal number for example i

OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
real*
OpenStudy (baru):
what is 'i'
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
i^2 = -1
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
its an imaginary number which you can turn into a real number
OpenStudy (baru):
thats right :)

OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
:D
OpenStudy (baru):
so whats
\[\sqrt{625}\]
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
25
OpenStudy (baru):
whats
\[\sqrt{-625}\]
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
25i ?

OpenStudy (baru):
thats right :)
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
really?
OpenStudy (baru):
\[\sqrt{-625}=\sqrt{-1\times25^2}=\sqrt{-1}\times\sqrt{25^2}=i 25\]
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
ohh okayy
OpenStudy (baru):
whats
\[\sqrt{-25}\]

OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
i5
OpenStudy (baru):
yep :)
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
so the quotient of two complex numbers is always true ?
OpenStudy (baru):
i'm sorry i didnt understand what you mean...give me an example
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
so if a negative is in the square root we always have to put the i ?

inside the square root*
OpenStudy (baru):
yes you do
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
okay so \[\sqrt{-121} = i11\]
OpenStudy (baru):
yes
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
so it would be \[i25-i11\]

OpenStudy (baru):
you for got the 'squares'
\[(5i)^2-(11i)^2\]
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
oh yea
OpenStudy (baru):
and its 5 not 25
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
oh alright thank you so much
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
I understand this a lot better now :D

Sign Up
OpenStudy (baru):
you know that i^2=-1
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
yes
OpenStudy (baru):
so whats
\[(5i)^2\]
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
would it be -i
OpenStudy (baru):
hint
\[(5i)^2=5^2\times i^2\]

Sign Up
OpenStudy (baru):
no
OpenStudy (baru):
try using my hint
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
ok
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
since i^2 equals -1 it can be 5^2*-1 ?
OpenStudy (baru):
yes
Join the QuestionCove community and study together with friends!
Sign Up
OpenStudy (baru):
whats 5^2*-1
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
and that would be -25 because 5^2 is 25 times -1 is -25
OpenStudy (baru):
correct!!
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
yay :D
OpenStudy (baru):
now try (11i)^2

OpenStudy (baru):
oh..never mind. your question does not ask for it
OpenStudy (baru):
so..you have done all the necessary calculations to give the final answer to your question.
can you give it?
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
okay so it would be -25-(11i)^2 ?
OpenStudy (baru):
it would be
-25 -11i
OpenStudy (baru):
where did you get ^2 from?

OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
when you said now try (11i)^2
OpenStudy (baru):
that was my mistake, your question does not ask us to find (11i)^2
it just asks \[\sqrt{-121}\]
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
oh okay
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
so then yea it would be 11i
OpenStudy (baru):
so you understand how we got -25-11i
