Are you allowed imaginary numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also, what do you think is the correct answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, what do you think is the correct answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nixy I believe it is the first one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is the second one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The reason why it is the second one is because if you put -5 in \( \huge \sqrt{x-2} \) \( \huge \sqrt{-5-2} \) we get \( \huge \sqrt{-5-2} = i\sqrt{7} \) which is an imaginary number and not a real number

@Nixy thank you.
