Answer:

5√3

Explanation:

1. Simplify the square roots of the negative numbers:

√(-108) = √(108) * i = √(36 * 3) * i = 6√3 * i

√(-3) = √(3) * i√1 = √3 * i

2. Substitute the simplified values back into the expression:

√(-108) - √(-3) = 6√3 * i - √3 * i

3. Combine like terms:

(6√3 - √3) * i = 5√3 * i

Therefore, the expression √(-108) - √(-3) simplifies to 5√3 * i, where "i" represents the imaginary unit....../
