Answer

$5+6i$

Work Step by Step

Factor the radicand so that one factor $-1$ to obtain: $=5+\sqrt{36(-1)} \\=5+\sqrt{6^2(-1)}$ RECALL: (1) $\sqrt{ab} = \sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b}$ (2) $\sqrt{-1} = i$ Use rule (1) above to obtain: $=5+ \cdot \sqrt{6^2} \cdot \sqrt{-1} \\=5+ 6 \cdot \sqrt{-1}$ Use rule (2) above to obtain: $=5+6i$
