find all the real square roots of -9/16

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

your opinion ?

OpenStudy (juan1857):

-3/4?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

how ? -3/4 *-3/4 not equal -9/16

OpenStudy (juan1857):

oh , i thought you had to square root the denominator and numerator

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you know what mean find all the real square roots of . ?

OpenStudy (juan1857):

not really

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

hope you know that sqrt(-1) =i what not is real - yes ?

OpenStudy (juan1857):

yeah I know that

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than you know it sure than how you think it now has real roots this -9/16

OpenStudy (juan1857):

3i/4?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes is right but this not is real number ,this is complex number - or you dont know it again ?

OpenStudy (juan1857):

or is it -3i/4

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok but you need to find the real roots - yes ?

OpenStudy (juan1857):

yeah

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

You need to take the square root of -3 and 9. To take the square root of a negative number- we must use i which is equal to -1.

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

Oh sorry...I mean -9 and 16

OpenStudy (juan1857):

ok so how do we get the real numbers?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

bc. there is -9 and sqrt(-1)=i so from this result that havnt real roots without ,,i"

OpenStudy (juan1857):

ok

OpenStudy (juan1857):

so how do we get the real roots?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

dont have real roots bc. there is -9 and sqrt(-9) = 3i what is complex number

OpenStudy (juan1857):

so it is undefined?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

in set of real numbers yes

OpenStudy (juan1857):

ok thanks!

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you understand it why sure ?

OpenStudy (juan1857):

yeah, bc i makes it a complex number, but we are looking for a real number

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

exactly so was my pleasure bye bye

OpenStudy (juan1857):

thnx

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
