SOLUTION: For the given function, find the indicated function value, if it exists. If the value does not exist, answer "Does not exist". For g(x)= -sqrt(x+1)^2, find g(-6).

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Some confusion about what you are really asking.
g%28x%29=+-sqrt%28%28x%2B1%29%5E2%29, find g(-6).
Yes this has a solution. -sqrt%28%28-6%2B1%29%5E2%29+=+-sqrt%28%28-5%29%5E2%29
=-sqrt%2825%29
=-%285%29
=-5

If you really meant, -%28sqrt%28-6%2B1%29%29%5E2, then it is a bit different.
