Because p squared is equal to -25, the square root of -25 is equal to p.

Because of this, finding the square root of -25 will give us our answer.


√(-25) = 5i

Therefore, p = 5i or p =
√(-25).

Hope this helped! :)

Answer:

p = - 5i or p = 5i

Explanation:

Noting
√(-1) = i

Given

p² = - 25 ( take the square root of both sides )

p = ±
√(-25) = ±
√(25(-1)) = ± 5i

Thus

p = - 5i or p = 5i
