3 Steps to Evaluate Radicals with a Negative Radicand Day 1 Imaginary Numbers / Powers of i An equation, such as x = 9, has no solution in the real number system. However, a solution does exist in the system of imaginary numbers. By definition, 1 is defined as i, the imaginary unit. Since 9 = 9 1, and 1 = i, we can simplify 9 as 3i. 1. Remove the negative sign from under the radical.. Place an i in front of the radical sign. 3. Simplify the radical.
