Answer

$\color{blue}{2+2i\sqrt{2}}$

Work Step by Step

Simplify $\sqrt{-200}$ to obtain: $=\sqrt{100(-1)(2)} \\=\sqrt{10^2(-1)(2)} \\=10\sqrt{(-1)(2)}$ Since $\sqrt{-1} = i$, the expression above simplifies to: $=10i\sqrt{2}$ Thus, the given expression is equivalent to: $=\dfrac{10+10i\sqrt{2}}{5}$ Divide each term of the numerator by the denominator to obtain: $=\dfrac{10}{5} + \dfrac{10i\sqrt{2}}{5} \\=\color{blue}{2+2i\sqrt{2}}$
