Question 126173: I have this expression

so than it would be -4 square root 3?
These kind of problems play with your head. Is this correct?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
square root of -144
sqrt(-144) = 12i
If you have not studied complex numbers
sqrt(-144) is not computable.
It will be computable when you have
studied complex numbers.
