Question 72710: need help in finding out g(-2) when g(x)= sqrt 5-x + 2.
Another question is sqrt -36 the same as -sqrt 36. would answer still be 6i?
One last question: sqrt -36 divided by sqrt -9. Is answer -2?
Thank you

need help in finding out g(-2) when g(x)= sqrt 5-x + 2.
x = -2, then substitute
g(-2)= sqrt (5-(-2) + 2)
= sqrt (5+2+2)
= sqrt 9
= 3
Another question is sqrt -36 the same as -sqrt 36. would answer still be 6i?
sqrt -36 is not the same as - sqrt 36
Why? sqrt (-36) = sqrt (36 * -1)
= sqrt 36 * sqrt (-1)
= 6 sqrt (-1) Remember that sqrt (-1) = i
= 6i
While - sqrt 36 = - 6



One last question: sqrt -36 divided by sqrt -9. Is answer -2?
