We need to evaluate the expression:


\sqrt[]{25-49}

Notice that the expression inside the square root results in a negative number. So, we need to use the following definition for the imaginary number i:


i=\sqrt[]{-1}

Now, we obtain:


\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{25-49}=\sqrt[]{-24} \\ \\ =\sqrt[]{4\cdot(-1)\cdot(6)} \\ \\ =\sqrt[]{4}\cdot\sqrt[]{-1}\cdot\sqrt[]{6} \\ \\ =2i\sqrt[]{6} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is:


2i\sqrt[]{6}
