Question

Plz help!
solve for p

Answer 1

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 2

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
