Question

Which of the following is evaluated to 18-√-25? 1) 5i 2) 18-5i 3) 18+5i 4) 23

Answer 1

Option 2: 18-5i is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$18-\sqrt{-25}$

When there is a negative number in radical, a new complex number iota denoted by i is introduced which is equal to $\sqrt{-1}$

So we will solve the given expression

$18-\sqrt{-25}\\= 18- (\sqrt{25*-1})\\= 18 - (\sqrt{25} * \sqrt{-1})\\= 18 - (5*i) = >\sqrt{-1} = i\\= 18 - 5i$

Hence,

Option 2: 18-5i is the right answer
