The 'i' should go in front of the square root, not inside it.

So the answer should be
i√(15)

--------------

The way they wrote the expression
√(15)i is bit misleading as it might imply that the 'i' is under the square root. However the square root ends after the "5". It might be better to say
(√(15))i so there is clearer separation. But sticking the "i" in front is also a valid option.

side note: the plus minus part is already handled so there's no need to worry about that.
