Math Problem Statement

Simplify the expression to a + bi form: √121 + √-49 + √64 - √-81

Solution

To simplify the given expression into the form a+bia + bi, where aa is the real part and bb is the imaginary part, let's break down the terms.

The expression is:

121+49+6481\sqrt{121} + \sqrt{-49} + \sqrt{64} - \sqrt{-81}

Step-by-Step Simplification:

  1. Simplify each square root term:

    • 121=11\sqrt{121} = 11 (since 112=12111^2 = 121)
    • 49=491=7i\sqrt{-49} = \sqrt{49} \cdot \sqrt{-1} = 7i (since 1=i\sqrt{-1} = i)
    • 64=8\sqrt{64} = 8 (since 82=648^2 = 64)
    • 81=811=9i\sqrt{-81} = \sqrt{81} \cdot \sqrt{-1} = 9i
  2. Substitute these values into the original expression: 11+7i+89i11 + 7i + 8 - 9i

  3. Combine the real and imaginary parts:

    • Real part: 11+8=1911 + 8 = 19
    • Imaginary part: 7i9i=2i7i - 9i = -2i

Final answer:

The simplified expression in a+bia + bi form is:

192i19 - 2i
