(3√(−5) )( −4√(−12) )
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recognize that the expression involves multiplying two complex numbers in the form of \( a\sqrt{-1} \), which can be rewritten using the imaginary unit \( i = \sqrt{-1} \). So, rewrite \( \sqrt{-5} \) as \( \sqrt{5}i \) and \( \sqrt{-12} \) as \( \sqrt{12}i \).
Rewrite the original expression \( (3\sqrt{-5})(-4\sqrt{-12}) \) as \( (3\sqrt{5}i)(-4\sqrt{12}i) \).
Multiply the coefficients and the square root parts separately: multiply \( 3 \times -4 \) and \( \sqrt{5} \times \sqrt{12} \), and multiply the imaginary units \( i \times i \).
Recall that \( i \times i = i^2 = -1 \), so replace \( i^2 \) with \( -1 \) in your expression.
Simplify the expression by multiplying all numerical parts and applying the \( -1 \) from \( i^2 \), then write the final result in the form \( a + bi \), which is the standard form for complex numbers.
