What would \(\Large \sqrt{36}\) simplify to?

OpenStudy (ememnim):

6

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

How about \(\Large \sqrt{-49}\) ?

OpenStudy (ememnim):

-7

OpenStudy (ememnim):

wait no

OpenStudy (ememnim):

yeah

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

incorrect

OpenStudy (ememnim):

7

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: \[\Large \sqrt{-49} = \sqrt{-1*49} = \sqrt{-1}*\sqrt{49} = ???\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

another hint: \[\Large i = \sqrt{-1}\]

OpenStudy (ememnim):

49? or 1? idk

OpenStudy (vuriffy):

Imaginary values are used to convert negative radicals to variable-related answers.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

\[\Large \sqrt{-49} = \sqrt{-1*49} = \sqrt{-1}*\sqrt{49} = i*7 = 7i\] hopefully this makes sense?

OpenStudy (vuriffy):

You may do part by part, as jim has shown above.

OpenStudy (vuriffy):

You may do the same for radical of -81.

OpenStudy (ememnim):

okay so what do i put

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

If we do the same for sqrt(-81) we would get \[\Large \sqrt{-81} = \sqrt{-1*81} = \sqrt{-1}*\sqrt{81} = i*9 = 9i\] with me so far?

OpenStudy (vuriffy):

It has not been fully worked out yet.

OpenStudy (ememnim):

ok

OpenStudy (vuriffy):

\[2 + 6 - 7i + 9i \]

OpenStudy (vuriffy):

May you simplify that for me?

OpenStudy (ememnim):

two people helping me is extremely confusing. @Vuriffy john can help me thanks anyways.

OpenStudy (vuriffy):

Okay, I apologize. Enjoy. Great job, @jim_thompson5910.
