Full solution

Q. Express the radical using the imaginary unit, i i .\newlineExpress your answer in simplified form.\newline±66=± \pm \sqrt{-66}= \pm \square
  1. Express as product of square roots: Express ±66\pm\sqrt{-66} as the product of square roots and 1\sqrt{-1}.\newline±66=±166\pm\sqrt{-66} = \pm\sqrt{-1 \cdot 66}
  2. Recognize imaginary unit: Recognize that 1\sqrt{-1} is the imaginary unit ii.±66=±166\pm\sqrt{-66} = \pm\sqrt{-1} \cdot \sqrt{66}=±i66= \pm i \cdot \sqrt{66}
  3. Simplify square root of 6666: Simplify the square root of 6666 if possible. Since 6666 is not a perfect square and does not have factors that are perfect squares other than 11, we leave it as 66\sqrt{66}.\newline±i66=±i66\pm i \cdot \sqrt{66} = \pm i \cdot \sqrt{66}
  4. Combine imaginary unit with radical: Combine the imaginary unit with the radical to express the final answer.\newlineThe expression ±66\pm\sqrt{-66} can be written as ±i66\pm i \cdot \sqrt{66}.
