Express the radical using the imaginary unit, i. Express your answer in simplified form. +-sqrt(-15)=+-

Rewrite as Product: Express +-sqrt(-15) as the product of square roots and sqrt(-1). +-sqrt(-15) = +-sqrt(-1 * 15)Express as Complex Number: Express +-sqrt(-1 * 15) as a complex number by using i for sqrt(-1). +-sqrt(-15) = +-sqrt(-1) * sqrt(15) = +-i * sqrt(15)Combine for Simplification: Simplify the expression by combining the +- sign with i. +-sqrt(-15) = +-i * sqrt(15) = +-i sqrt(15)

Q. Express the radical using the imaginary unit,

i

\newline

Express your answer in simplified form.

\newline

\pm \sqrt{-15}= \pm

Rewrite as Product: Express $\pm\sqrt{-15}$ as the product of square roots and $\sqrt{-1}$ . $\newline$ $\pm\sqrt{-15} = \pm\sqrt{-1 \times 15}$
Express as Complex Number: Express $\pm\sqrt{-1 \times 15}$ as a complex number by using $i$ for $\sqrt{-1}$ . $\newline$ $\pm\sqrt{-15} = \pm\sqrt{-1} \times \sqrt{15}$ $\newline$ $= \pm i \times \sqrt{15}$
Combine for Simplification: Simplify the expression by combining the $\pm$ sign with $i$ . $\pm\sqrt{-15} = \pm i \times \sqrt{15} = \pm i \sqrt{15}$
