Question

Drag numbers into the blanks to rewrite the square roots.

square root -5 (it doesnt let me put the symbol. whats the answer?

Answer 1

Explanation:

for a lot of math classes they just tell you "don't take the square root of a negative number" Then when you see this
`√(-5)` it looks all wrong. But, just think of the two things under the radical as

`√(-1*5)`

now, take the -1 out of the square root as " i "

i
`√(5)`

and if you want to put it into correct complex form

0 + i
`√(5)`
