Answer:


-16i√(3)

Explanation:

The expression cannot be simplified because you cannot have a negative number under a square root, so there are no real answers. However, there are always imaginary answers present.

To calculate the imaginary answers, do as follows:


-4√(-48) = -4i√(48) = -16i√(3)

hope this helps :)
