Q. Express the radical using the imaginary unit, i.Express your answer in simplified form.±−66=±□
Express as product of square roots: Express ±−66 as the product of square roots and −1.±−66=±−1⋅66
Recognize imaginary unit: Recognize that −1 is the imaginary unit i.±−66=±−1⋅66=±i⋅66
Simplify square root of 66: Simplify the square root of 66 if possible. Since 66 is not a perfect square and does not have factors that are perfect squares other than 1, we leave it as 66.±i⋅66=±i⋅66
Combine imaginary unit with radical: Combine the imaginary unit with the radical to express the final answer.The expression ±−66 can be written as ±i⋅66.
