Math Problem Statement

Find the check steps for the solutions in the correct order for the equation involving -25.

Solution

The task requires you to arrange the expressions in the correct order to check the solution for 25-25, likely relating to complex numbers or square roots. Let's break this down step by step:

Key Ideas:

  • ii is the imaginary unit where i2=1i^2 = -1.
  • The square root of a negative number involves imaginary numbers. For example, 25=5i\sqrt{-25} = 5i, because (5i)2=25(5i)^2 = -25.

Possible Steps in the Solution:

  1. Start with the given number: 25=-25 =

    • You’ll need the expression that represents this (perhaps as (25)(1)(25)(-1)).
  2. Convert it using imaginary numbers: 25-25 can be written as (5i)2(5i)^2 because (5i)2=25×(1)=25(5i)^2 = 25 \times (-1) = -25.

  3. Represent using squared terms: The next step would be something like (5i)2=25(5i)^2 = -25.

  4. Check with intermediate values: You might need to confirm that 5i5i is a root of 25-25.

  5. Final equality check: 25=25-25 = -25 to confirm the solution.

Matching with Options:

Here are the corresponding values in the drag-and-drop area:

  1. (25)(1)(25)(-1) to represent 25-25.
  2. (±5i)2(\pm 5i)^2 to show the square of 5i5i.
  3. 25-25 as the final result of (5i)2(5i)^2.
  4. 25 and 1-1 as intermediary steps.

Try arranging:

  1. 25=(25)(1)-25 = (25)(-1),
  2. (25)(1)=(±5i)2(25)(-1) = (\pm 5i)^2,
  3. (±5i)2=25(\pm 5i)^2 = -25.

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How do imaginary numbers simplify square roots of negative values?
  2. What is the significance of ii in complex number theory?
  3. Can all negative numbers be expressed as squares of imaginary numbers?
  4. How would the steps change if the number were different (e.g., 16-16)?
  5. How does the rule i2=1i^2 = -1 impact operations in the complex plane?

Tip: When dealing with imaginary numbers, always simplify square roots by factoring negative signs into ii.
