Answer:

We conclude that:


√(\left(-81\right)x^2)=9ix

Explanation:

Given the radical expression


√(\left(-81\right)x^2)

simplifying the expression


√(\left(-81\right)x^2)

Remove parentheses: (-a) = -a


√(\left(-81\right)x^2)=√(-81x^2)

Apply radical rule:
√(-a)=√(-1)√(a),\:\quad \mathrm{\:assuming\:}a\ge 0


=√(-1)√(81x^2)

Apply imaginary number rule:
√(-1)=i


=i√(81x^2)

Apply radical rule:
\sqrt[n]{ab}=\sqrt[n]{a}\sqrt[n]{b},\:\quad \mathrm{\:assuming\:}a\ge 0,\:b\ge 0


=√(81)i√(x^2)


=9i√(x^2)

Apply radical rule:
\sqrt[n]{a^n}=a,\:\quad \mathrm{\:assuming\:}a\ge 0


=9ix

Therefore, we conclude that:


√(\left(-81\right)x^2)=9ix
