Simplify the Radical Expression square root of 144- square root of -50- square root of 49- square root of -98

$\sqrt{144} - \sqrt{- 50} - \sqrt{49} - \sqrt{- 98}$

Step 1

Simplify each term.

Rewrite $144$ as $12^{2}$ .

$\sqrt{12^{2}} - \sqrt{- 50} - \sqrt{49} - \sqrt{- 98}$

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$| 12 | - \sqrt{- 50} - \sqrt{49} - \sqrt{- 98}$

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between $0$ and $12$ is $12$ .

$12 - \sqrt{- 50} - \sqrt{49} - \sqrt{- 98}$

Rewrite $- 50$ as $- 1 (50)$ .

$12 - \sqrt{- 1 (50)} - \sqrt{49} - \sqrt{- 98}$

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1 (50)}$ as $\sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{50}$ .

$12 - (\sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{50}) - \sqrt{49} - \sqrt{- 98}$

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1}$ as $i$ .

$12 - (i \cdot \sqrt{50}) - \sqrt{49} - \sqrt{- 98}$

Rewrite $50$ as $5^{2} \cdot 2$ .

Factor $25$ out of $50$ .

$12 - (i \cdot \sqrt{25 (2)}) - \sqrt{49} - \sqrt{- 98}$

Rewrite $25$ as $5^{2}$ .

$12 - (i \cdot \sqrt{5^{2} \cdot 2}) - \sqrt{49} - \sqrt{- 98}$

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$12 - (i \cdot (| 5 | \sqrt{2})) - \sqrt{49} - \sqrt{- 98}$

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between $0$ and $5$ is $5$ .

$12 - (i \cdot (5 \sqrt{2})) - \sqrt{49} - \sqrt{- 98}$

Move $5$ to the left of $i$ .

$12 - (5 \cdot i \sqrt{2}) - \sqrt{49} - \sqrt{- 98}$

Multiply $5$ by $- 1$ .

$12 - 5 (i \sqrt{2}) - \sqrt{49} - \sqrt{- 98}$

Rewrite $49$ as $7^{2}$ .

$12 - 5 i \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{7^{2}} - \sqrt{- 98}$

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$12 - 5 i \sqrt{2} - | 7 | - \sqrt{- 98}$

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between $0$ and $7$ is $7$ .

$12 - 5 i \sqrt{2} - 1 \cdot 7 - \sqrt{- 98}$

Multiply $- 1$ by $7$ .

$12 - 5 i \sqrt{2} - 7 - \sqrt{- 98}$

Rewrite $- 98$ as $- 1 (98)$ .

$12 - 5 i \sqrt{2} - 7 - \sqrt{- 1 (98)}$

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1 (98)}$ as $\sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{98}$ .

$12 - 5 i \sqrt{2} - 7 - (\sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{98})$

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1}$ as $i$ .

$12 - 5 i \sqrt{2} - 7 - (i \cdot \sqrt{98})$

Rewrite $98$ as $7^{2} \cdot 2$ .

Factor $49$ out of $98$ .

$12 - 5 i \sqrt{2} - 7 - (i \cdot \sqrt{49 (2)})$

Rewrite $49$ as $7^{2}$ .

$12 - 5 i \sqrt{2} - 7 - (i \cdot \sqrt{7^{2} \cdot 2})$

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$12 - 5 i \sqrt{2} - 7 - (i \cdot (| 7 | \sqrt{2}))$

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between $0$ and $7$ is $7$ .

$12 - 5 i \sqrt{2} - 7 - (i \cdot (7 \sqrt{2}))$

Move $7$ to the left of $i$ .

$12 - 5 i \sqrt{2} - 7 - (7 \cdot i \sqrt{2})$

Multiply $7$ by $- 1$ .

$12 - 5 i \sqrt{2} - 7 - 7 i \sqrt{2}$

Step 2

Subtract $7$ from $12$ .

$- 5 i \sqrt{2} + 5 - 7 i \sqrt{2}$

Step 3

Subtract $7 i \sqrt{2}$ from $- 5 i \sqrt{2}$ .

$- 12 i \sqrt{2} + 5$

Step 4

Reorder $- 12 i \sqrt{2}$ and $5$ .

$5 - 12 i \sqrt{2}$
