Question:

Which expression represents the number
3 + √(-4) rewritten in a+bi form?

Answer:

3 + 2i

Explanation:

Let y =
3 + √(-4) ...............(1)


y = 3 + (√(4)) (√(-1) )\\.............(2)

The complex number representation of
√(-1) = i and
√(4) = 2

Make these substitutions into equation ( 2)


y = 3 +2i\\ is in the form a + bi

Where a = 3 and b = 2
