I need help on radicals. I have a problem that looks kind of like this:

x = radical(-4) * radical(-3)

I don't really know what to do in this situation. Can someone here give me some advice?

Imaginary numbers eh?..I kinda remember this..I believe this problem is done like so (I'll do it step by step so you hopefully understand what I am doing)

x=√(-4) * √(-3)...since √(-1)=i and √(4)=2, we get √(-4) equaling 2i....
x=2i*√(-3)...again since √(-1)=i, we replace √(-3) with i√(3)...
x=2i*i√(3)...we multiply 2i and i to get 2i^2...
x=2i^2√(3)....and i^2=-1 so...
x=2(-1)*√(3)
x=-2√(3) which is the final answer.

Ah, I get it now. Thanks!

Sort of out of the question but you've taken algebra 1 then geometry so your in algebra 2 now?
