1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to evaluate the expression (5+1)(236)(5 + \sqrt{-1})(2 - \sqrt{-36}).

2. Solution Steps

First, we simplify the square roots of negative numbers using the definition of the imaginary unit i=1i = \sqrt{-1}.
1=i\sqrt{-1} = i
36=361=361=6i\sqrt{-36} = \sqrt{36 \cdot -1} = \sqrt{36} \cdot \sqrt{-1} = 6i
Now substitute these values into the expression:
(5+i)(26i)(5 + i)(2 - 6i)
Next, we expand the product using the distributive property (FOIL method):
(5+i)(26i)=5(2)+5(6i)+i(2)+i(6i)(5 + i)(2 - 6i) = 5(2) + 5(-6i) + i(2) + i(-6i)
=1030i+2i6i2= 10 - 30i + 2i - 6i^2
Since i2=1i^2 = -1, we have:
1030i+2i6(1)=1030i+2i+610 - 30i + 2i - 6(-1) = 10 - 30i + 2i + 6
Combine the real and imaginary parts:
(10+6)+(30i+2i)=1628i(10 + 6) + (-30i + 2i) = 16 - 28i

3. Final Answer

1628i16 - 28i
