Express the radical using the imaginary unit, i. Express your answer in simplified form. +-sqrt(-70)=+-◻

Express as product of square roots: Express ±sqrt(-70) as the product of square roots and sqrt(-1). ±sqrt(-70) = ±sqrt(-1 * 70)Recognize imaginary unit: Recognize that sqrt(-1) is the imaginary unit i. ±sqrt(-70) = ±sqrt(-1) * sqrt(70) = ±i * sqrt(70)Simplify square root of 70: Simplify the square root of 70 by looking for perfect square factors. 70 = 2 * 35 = 2 * 5 * 7 Since there are no perfect square factors in 70, we cannot simplify sqrt(70) further.Combine with imaginary unit: Combine the imaginary unit with the simplified radical. ±sqrt(-70) = ±i * sqrt(70)

Q. Express the radical using the imaginary unit,

i

\newline

Express your answer in simplified form.

\newline

\pm \sqrt{-70}= \pm \square

Express as product of square roots: Express $\pm\sqrt{-70}$ as the product of square roots and $\sqrt{-1}$ . $\newline$ $\pm\sqrt{-70} = \pm\sqrt{-1 \cdot 70}$
Recognize imaginary unit: Recognize that $\sqrt{-1}$ is the imaginary unit $i$ .
$\pm\sqrt{-70} = \pm\sqrt{-1} \times \sqrt{70}$
= $\pm i \times \sqrt{70}$
Simplify square root of $70$ : Simplify the square root of $70$ by looking for perfect square factors. $\newline$ $70 = 2 \times 35 = 2 \times 5 \times 7$ $\newline$ Since there are no perfect square factors in $70$ , we cannot simplify $\sqrt{70}$ further.
Combine with imaginary unit: Combine the imaginary unit with the simplified radical. $\pm\sqrt{-70} = \pm i \cdot \sqrt{70}$
