Answer

$-2\sqrt {6}+0i$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=\sqrt {-8}\cdot \sqrt {-3}$ $=\sqrt {2^2\cdot2\cdot (-1)}\cdot \sqrt {3\cdot (-1)}$ Use product rule. $=2\sqrt {2}\cdot \sqrt {-1}\cdot \sqrt {3}\cdot \sqrt {-1}$ Use $\sqrt{-1}=i$ $=2\sqrt {2}\cdot i\cdot \sqrt {3}\cdot i$ Simplify $=2\sqrt {2}\cdot \sqrt {3}\cdot i^2$ Use product rule and $i^2=-1$. $=-2\sqrt {2\cdot 3}$ Simplify. $=-2\sqrt {6}$. Rewrite as $a+bi$. $=-2\sqrt {6}+0i$.
