Alright lets work on this shall we? @Lrki
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So we have \[2\sqrt{-24+6}\] right?
OpenStudy (lrki):
Yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or is it \[2\sqrt{-24}+6\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The 1st one or the second one?

The 1st
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay so now we have \[2\sqrt{24+6}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Sorry with a negative in front.
OpenStudy (lrki):
My bad it's the second one.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay.

Now what we need to do is make the 24 into a positive and multiply it with -1 like this: \[2\sqrt{24(-1)}+6\]
OpenStudy (lrki):
Ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Do you see what I did?
OpenStudy (lrki):
Yes
OpenStudy (lrki):
Would the answer be 6+4i √6

Now you want to separate the -1 into a separate square root \[2\sqrt{24}\sqrt{-1}+6\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Well lets work it out I don't know the answer yet.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Now \[\sqrt{-1}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is equal to \[i\]
OpenStudy (lrki):
I got the answer thanks anyways.
