Just three problems. Here is the questions: http://oi43.tinypic.com/9qgveq.jpg

sqrt(-3)*sqrt(-3)=-3 because sqrt(x)*sqrt(x)=x for any x.
You also can solve it this way
sqrt(-3)*sqrt(-3)=sqrt(3)i*sqrt(3)i
=sqrt(3)sqrt(3) i^2
=3*i^2=3*-1=-3
sqrt(-25)sqrt(-9)
=sqrt(25)i*sqrt(9)i
=5*3*i^2
=15*-1=-15
1/i=1/i * i/i
=i/i^2
=i/-1=-i

1. 3 i *- sqrt of 3
2. 15
3. -i
sqrt is the square root sign
2. 15
3. -i
sqrt is the square root sign
