What is the square root of –16?<br><br><br><br> –8i<br><br> –4i<br><br> 4i<br><br> 8i

Ad libitum [116K]

we know that

$i^{2} =-1$

we have

$\sqrt{-16} =\sqrt{(-1)*(16)} =\sqrt{(-1)*(4^{2})}$

substitute the value of $i^{2}=-1$ in the expression above

$\sqrt{(-1)*(4^{2})}=\sqrt{i^{2}*4^{2}} \\ \\= 4i$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$4i$
