Answer

$\frac{7}{4}i$

Work Step by Step

The number $i$ is defined as $\sqrt {-1}$ We use the rules of multiplication for square roots to separate the radical: $\sqrt {-1}\sqrt {\frac{49}{16}}$ We subsititute in $i$ for $\sqrt {-1}$: $i\sqrt {\frac{49}{16}}$ We simplify the real square root: $\frac{\sqrt {49}}{\sqrt {16}}i=\frac{7}{4}i$
