Question

Plz help! solve for p

Answer 1

Because p squared is equal to -25, the square root of -25 is equal to p.

Because of this, finding the square root of -25 will give us our answer.

$\sqrt{-25}$ = 5i

Therefore, p = 5i or p = $\sqrt{-25}$.

Hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

p = - 5i or p = 5i

Step-by-step explanation:

Noting $\sqrt{-1}$ = i

Given

p² = - 25 ( take the square root of both sides )

p = ± $\sqrt{-25}$ = ± $\sqrt{25(-1)}$ = ± 5i

Thus

p = - 5i or p = 5i
