if you have a constant (normal number) under the radical, you can always evaluate it by simplifying it or using a calculator, but if you have a variable like x, y, or z under a radical, you can't put that into a calculator...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so none of the above

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

well, a radical equation definitely has a radical, because it's called a radical equation. But the variable must be inside the radical for it to actually be a radical equation

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

so it should be c
