To multiply \( \sqrt{-6} \cdot \sqrt{-7} \), we can use the property of square roots that states \( \sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{a \cdot b} \). However, since both values are negative, we rewrite them using imaginary units: \[ \sqrt{-6} = i\sqrt{6} \quad \text{and} \quad \sqrt{-7} = i\sqrt{7}. \] Now, substituting back, we have: \[ \sqrt{-6} \cdot \sqrt{-7} = (i\sqrt{6}) \cdot (i\sqrt{7}) = i^2 \cdot \sqrt{6} \cdot \sqrt{7}. \] Since \( i^2 = -1 \), the expression becomes: \[ -i^2 \cdot \sqrt{6 \cdot 7} = -1 \cdot \sqrt{42} = -\sqrt{42}. \] Thus, the answer is: \[ \sqrt{-6} \cdot \sqrt{-7} = -\sqrt{42}. \] In the form \( a + bi \), it can be expressed as: \[ 0 - \sqrt{42}i, \] So the exact answer is: \[ 0 - \sqrt{42}i. \]
