Given the below;


-\sqrt[]{-25}

We can break this up as shown below;


\begin{gathered} -\sqrt[]{(-1)\ast(25)} \\ =-(\sqrt[]{-1}\ast\sqrt[]{25}) \end{gathered}

Remember, that the square root of -1 is i. So let's go ahead and substitute i into our expression;


\begin{gathered} =-(i\sqrt[]{25)} \\ =-(5i) \\ =-5i \end{gathered}

Therefore our answer is -5i.
