<h3>Explanation</h3>
64
<p>√(-6) = √6 * i and √(-4) = 2i.</p>
63
<p>√(-6) = √6 * i and √(-4) = 2i.</p>
65
<p>Therefore, √(-6) * √(-4) = (√6 * i) * (2i) = 2√6 * i² = 2√6 * (-1) = -2√6.</p>
64
<p>Therefore, √(-6) * √(-4) = (√6 * i) * (2i) = 2√6 * i² = 2√6 * (-1) = -2√6.</p>

<p>However, to maintain consistency with complex number format, we express it as 4√6 * i.</p>
