Simplify the square root:square root of negative 72 end rootAnswer choices Include:2 i square root of 186 i square root of 218 i square root of 22 i square root of 6

Respuesta :

We need to simplify the next square root:

[tex]\sqrt[]{-72}[/tex]

First, we need to rewrite the expression as:

[tex]\sqrt{-72}=\sqrt[]{-1}\ast\sqrt[]{72}[/tex]

Where √-1 = i

Therefore:

[tex]\sqrt{-1}\ast\sqrt{72}=\sqrt[]{72}\text{ i}[/tex]

Finally, we can simplify inside of the square root:

[tex]\sqrt[]{72}i=\sqrt{6\ast6\ast2}i=\sqrt{6^2\ast2}i=6i\sqrt[]{2}^[/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is "6 i square root of 2".
