You can put this solution on YOUR website!
sqrt(-25) = sqrt(25 * -1) = sqrt(25) * sqrt(-1) = 5 * i = 5i.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i is equal to sqrt(-1).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the solution is complex.
\n" ); document.write( "a complex number has a real part and an imaginary part.
\n" ); document.write( "the general form oa a complex number is a + bi.
\n" ); document.write( "this solution how no real part.
\n" ); document.write( "it only has an imaginary part.
\n" ); document.write( "the general form of this solution would be 0 + 5i.
\n" ); document.write( "this simplifies to 5i.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you are just looking for a real solution, then there is no solution.\r
