Please help :) and explaining it would be awesome! Find the indicated value of the function.
f(x)=sqrt (x+5) -x-3    f ( sqrt (2)+3 ) = ?

anonymous · Answer

$$f(\sqrt{2}+3)=\sqrt{(\sqrt{2}+3)+5}-(\sqrt{2}+3)-3$$

precal · Answer

$$\sqrt{\sqrt{2}+5}-\sqrt{2}-3-3$$
$$\sqrt{\sqrt{2}+5}-\sqrt{2}-6$$

anonymous · Answer

thanks! yet, these are not coming up as right answers....is there anyway they can be simplified more maybe?

precal · Answer

as decimals

anonymous · Answer
