Question
b. √(-8)·√(-18)
Step1: Rewrite with imaginary unit $i$
$\sqrt{-8} = i\sqrt{8}$, $\sqrt{-18} = i\sqrt{18}$
Step2: Multiply the two expressions
$i\sqrt{8} \cdot i\sqrt{18} = i^2 \cdot \sqrt{8 \times 18}$
Step3: Simplify $i^2$ and product inside root
$i^2 = -1$, $\sqrt{8 \times 18} = \sqrt{144} = 12$
Step4: Calculate final result
$-1 \times 12$
