explain this (math)

[pdiggitydogg]

Im probably missing something really obvious, but Ive been doing this crap since about 4, and Im tired....so cut me some slack if it is.

Explain to me how:
(2 +- {Square root}-44) / 6

Becomes:
1 / 3 +- (i {Square root}11) / 3

The 1/3 I get...no brainer. I get complex numbers.
But how in the fuck does root 44 become root 11

[Wren57]

squareroot(-4)=i/3

thats all that makes sense...

[pdiggitydogg]

but root -4 is 2i

:o

[pdiggitydogg]

duh
half of root 44 is root 11 (which is 3.xxxx)

[MissJDM]

Yeah
Square root of -44 = square root of (-1 * 4 * 11) = 2i square root of 11

;)
It's always easier to simplify it to read that like

I really need to go back to school. I used to be awsome on shit like this....
