Answer

$-4\sqrt 3$

Work Step by Step

Step 1: $\sqrt -8\times\sqrt -6$ Step 2: $\sqrt (-1\times8)\times\sqrt (-1\times6)$ Step 3: $\sqrt -1\times\sqrt 8\times\sqrt -1\times\sqrt 6$ Step 4: Substituting $i=\sqrt -1$, $i\times\sqrt (2\times4)\times i\times\sqrt (2\times3)$ Step 5: $i\times\sqrt 2\times\sqrt 4\times i\times\sqrt 2\times\sqrt 3$ Step 6: $i\times\sqrt 2\times2\times i\times\sqrt 2\times\sqrt 3$ Step 7: $i\times i\times2\times(\sqrt 2\times\sqrt 2)\times\sqrt 3$ Step 8: $i^{2}\times2\times(2)\times\sqrt 3$ Step 9: Substituting $i^{2}=-1$, $-1\times2\times(2)\times\sqrt 3$ Step 10: $-4\sqrt 3$
