hope you know that sqrt(-1) = i

so in this case than there are sqrt(-18) = isqrt(9*2) = isqrt(3^2 *2) = 3isqrt2

so choice B. is right sure

Answer:

B. 3i√2.

Explanation:

Given : √-18

To find : Which choice is equivalent to the expression below.

Solution : We have given that √-18 .

As w know that
√(-1)  = i.

We can write
√(18) = √(9 * 2) = √(9) * √(2).


√(18) = 3 * √(2).

√-18 =
√(-1) *
3 * √(2).

√-18 = i [/tex] *
3 * √(2).

Therefore, B. 3i√2.
