Question

√-3 in simplest radical form

Answer 1

The expression \( \sqrt{-3} \) can be simplified using the concept of imaginary numbers. The square root of a negative number involves the imaginary unit \( i \), where \( i = \sqrt{-1} \).

To simplify \( \sqrt{-3} \):

\[
\sqrt{-3} = \sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{-1} = \sqrt{3} \cdot i
\]

Therefore, in simplest radical form, \( \sqrt{-3} \) can be expressed as:

\[
\sqrt{-3} = i\sqrt{3}
\]
