Full solution

Q. Solve for qq.\newlineq2=25q^2 = -25\newlineWrite your answer in simplified, rationalized form.\newlineq = ______ or q = ______
  1. Take square root: Now, take the square root of both sides to solve for qq. Remember that the square root of a negative number involves an imaginary number, ii. q=±25q = \pm\sqrt{-25}
  2. Simplify square root: Simplify the square root. Since 25\sqrt{25} is 55 and the square root of 1-1 is ii, we get: q=±5iq = \pm 5i
