Where did the sprt(-1) come from ?

6. beknazar23

it's just assignment, we guess it is equal to variable "i" kind of abstraction, mathematicians use

7. Yazzy2041

I still do not understand

8. Yazzy2041

Write the following expressions in standard form.

@Yazzy2041 $-1 = i^2$ Thats what he's saying

11. Yazzy2041

I do not understand the breakdown this is my first time doing this @hawkfalcon

12. hawkfalcon

It's okay:) Thanks for fanning me:P

13. hawkfalcon

$2\sqrt (-4)-94$ $2 i \sqrt (4)-94$ $2i2-94$ How far do you need to go?

14. hawkfalcon

$4i - 94$

15. Yazzy2041

thanks

No problem, make sense? It it has a negative value in the radical, you make it imaginary:P
