set 3 aside
root -24
break up into two parts:
root 24 and root -1
root -1 always = i
so now we have root 24 and i
now break up root 24
which is root 4 and root 6
root 4 is a perfect square so we can take it out and put it with the 3 we put aside earlier
but when we take it out we have to remember to solve the root
so root 4 becomes 2
we are left with root 6 and i this doesn’t get any smaller
multiply the 3 and 2 we grouped together and we get:
6 root 6i
i’ll write it down too, so see pic
