Q. Express the radical using the imaginary unit, i i . Express your answer in simplified form.\newline±70=± \pm \sqrt{-70}= \pm
  1. Recognize and Rewrite Expression: First, we recognize that the square root of a negative number involves the imaginary unit ii, where i2=1i^2 = -1. We can rewrite the expression ±70\pm\sqrt{-70} by factoring out 1-1 from under the radical to separate the real and imaginary parts.\newline±70=±1×70\pm\sqrt{-70} = \pm\sqrt{-1 \times 70}
  2. Replace with Imaginary Unit: Next, we know that 1\sqrt{-1} is the definition of the imaginary unit ii. So we can replace 1\sqrt{-1} with ii and continue simplifying the expression.\newline±1×70=±i×70\pm\sqrt{-1 \times 70} = \pm i \times \sqrt{70}
  3. Simplify Square Root of 7070: Now, we look to simplify 70\sqrt{70}. Since 7070 is not a perfect square, we check if it has any square factors. The prime factorization of 7070 is 2×5×72 \times 5 \times 7, which does not contain any repeated factors, so 70\sqrt{70} cannot be simplified further.\newlineTherefore, the expression remains as ±i×70\pm i \times \sqrt{70}.
