$(9 \sqrt{- 64}) (- \sqrt{- 5})$

Step 1

Rewrite $- 64$ as $- 1 (64)$ .

$9 \sqrt{- 1 (64)} (- \sqrt{- 5})$

Step 2

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1 (64)}$ as $\sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{64}$ .

$9 (\sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{64}) (- \sqrt{- 5})$

Step 3

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1}$ as $i$ .

$9 (i \cdot \sqrt{64}) (- \sqrt{- 5})$

Step 4

Rewrite $- 5$ as $- 1 (5)$ .

$9 (i \cdot \sqrt{64}) (- \sqrt{- 1 (5)})$

Step 5

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1 (5)}$ as $\sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{5}$ .

$9 (i \cdot \sqrt{64}) (- (\sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{5}))$

Step 6

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1}$ as $i$ .

$9 (i \cdot \sqrt{64}) (- (i \cdot \sqrt{5}))$

Step 7

Rewrite $64$ as $8^{2}$ .

$9 (i \cdot \sqrt{8^{2}}) (- (i \cdot \sqrt{5}))$

Step 8

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

$9 (i \cdot 8) (- (i \cdot \sqrt{5}))$

Step 9

Move $8$ to the left of $i$ .

$9 (8 \cdot i) (- (i \cdot \sqrt{5}))$

Step 10

Multiply $8$ by $9$ .

$72 i (- (i \cdot \sqrt{5}))$

Step 11

Multiply $72 i (- i \sqrt{5})$ .
