Subtract (3.4+√-25)−(−9−√-9) . Provide your answer in the form of a+bi .

1 answer

To solve the expression \((3.4+\sqrt{-25}) - (-9-\sqrt{-9})\), we will first simplify the square root terms.

  1. Evaluate \(\sqrt{-25}\): \[ \sqrt{-25} = \sqrt{25} \cdot i = 5i \]

  2. Evaluate \(\sqrt{-9}\): \[ \sqrt{-9} = \sqrt{9} \cdot i = 3i \]

Now, substitute these results back into the expression:

\[ (3.4 + 5i) - (-9 - 3i) \]

This simplifies to:

\[ (3.4 + 5i) + (9 + 3i) \]

Now, combine the real and imaginary parts:

  • Real part: \[ 3.4 + 9 = 12.4 \]

  • Imaginary part: \[ 5i + 3i = 8i \]

So the expression simplifies to:

\[ 12.4 + 8i \]

Thus, the final answer in the form \(a + bi\) is:

\[ \boxed{12.4 + 8i} \]
