Answer

$-4\sqrt 3-2i\sqrt {6}$

Work Step by Step

Make the square roots positive by creating an imaginary number outside each negative one. Then distribute and multiply. Then simplify the radicals. $\sqrt {-12}(\sqrt {-4}-\sqrt 2)$ $i\sqrt {12}(i\sqrt {4}-\sqrt 2)$ $-\sqrt {48}-i\sqrt {24}$ $-4\sqrt 3-2i\sqrt {6}$
