The square root of -36, over the square root of -4. Found 2 solutions by marshalltamika, checkley71:Answer by marshalltamika(3) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! With complex numbers the thing to remember is i^2=-1.
So from this information the square root of -36 would be 6i and the square root of -4 would be 2i. Now when you divide them you should get 3 as your answer. Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! (sqrt-36)/(sqrt-4) or (sqrt-1*36)/(sqrt-1*4) or 6i/2/i or 3i
note: i=sqrt-1
