Full solution

Q. Solve for jj.\newline2j=64j\sqrt{\,-2j} = \sqrt{\,-6 - 4j}\newlinej=____j = \,\_\_\_\_
  1. Square both sides: Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square roots.\newline(2j)2=(64j)2(\sqrt{-2j})^2 = (\sqrt{-6 - 4j})^2\newline2j=64j-2j = -6 - 4j
  2. Add jj terms: Add 4j4j to both sides of the equation to get all the jj terms on one side.\newline2j+4j=64j+4j-2j + 4j = -6 - 4j + 4j\newline2j=62j = -6
  3. Divide by 22: Divide both sides by 22 to solve for jj.2j2=62\frac{2j}{2} = \frac{-6}{2}j=3j = -3
