Answer:


10 + 4i

Explanation:

Original Equation:


2√(25) + √(-16)

Simplify sqrt(25)


2*5+√(-16)

Simplify multiplication


10+√(-16)

Split the radical -16 into two, using the identity:
\sqrt[n]{a} * \sqrt[n]{b} = \sqrt[n]{ab}


10 + √(-1)*√(16)

Simplify the sqrt(16) and sqrt(-1) using definition of an imaginary number


10 + 4i
