Question

evaluate. simplify your answer.
-2 - \sqrt{5^2 + 22 \div 2}
your answer is incorrect.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate inside the square root

First, we need to calculate the expression inside the square root, which is \(5^2 + 22\div2\).

• Calculate \(5^2\): \(5^2 = 25\)
• Calculate \(22\div2\): \(22\div2 = 11\)
• Then add them together: \(25 + 11 = 36\)

Step2: Take the square root

Now, take the square root of the result from Step 1. \(\sqrt{36}=6\)

Step3: Subtract from -2.2

Now, subtract the square root result from -2.2: \(-2.2 - 6=-8.2\)

Answer:

\(-8.2\)
