Express the radical using the imaginary unit, i. Express your answer in simplified form. +-sqrt(-38)=+-◻

Express as product of square roots: Express ±sqrt(-38) as the product of square roots and sqrt(-1). ±sqrt(-38) = ±sqrt(-1 * 38)Recognize imaginary unit: Recognize that sqrt(-1) is the imaginary unit i. ±sqrt(-1 * 38) = ±sqrt(-1) * sqrt(38) = ±i * sqrt(38)Simplify expression: Simplify the expression by keeping the imaginary unit i and the square root of the positive number. ±i * sqrt(38) = ±i√38

i

\newline

Express your answer in simplified form.

\newline

\pm \sqrt{-38}= \pm \square

Express as product of square roots: Express $\pm\sqrt{-38}$ as the product of square roots and $\sqrt{-1}$ . $\pm\sqrt{-38} = \pm\sqrt{-1 \times 38}$
Recognize imaginary unit: Recognize that $\sqrt{-1}$ is the imaginary unit $i$ . $\pm\sqrt{-1 \times 38} = \pm\sqrt{-1} \times \sqrt{38}$ $= \pm i \times \sqrt{38}$
Simplify expression: Simplify the expression by keeping the imaginary unit $i$ and the square root of the positive number. $\pm i \sqrt{38} = \pm i\sqrt{38}$
