Answer 2

Answer:

Simplification of $-5-\sqrt{-44}$ is:

$-5-2i\sqrt{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a expression:

$-5-\sqrt{-44}$

We have to simplify the given expression.

We know that:

$\sqrt{-1}=i$

$-5-\sqrt{-44}\\\\=-5-\sqrt{-4\times 11}\\ \\=-5-\sqrt{-1\times 2^2\times 11}\\ \\=-5-2i\sqrt{11}$

Hence, simplification of $-5-\sqrt{-44}$ is:

$-5-2i\sqrt{11}$
