Answer:

A.
\displaystyle 3i√(2)

Explanation:


\displaystyle √(-18) → √([2][-1][9])\\ \\ 3i√(2)

As you can see, you need a perfect square to wourk with, which in this case is 9. Now,
\displaystyle √(-1) comes out as an imaginary number
\displaystyle [i],so pull it out of the radical alongside 3,
\displaystyle √(9).

I am joyous to assist you at any time.

\\ \rm\longmapsto √(-18)


\\ \rm\longmapsto √(18)i


\\ \rm\longmapsto √(9* 2)i


\\ \rm\longmapsto √(3(3)(2))i


\\ \rm\longmapsto 3i√(2)
