Question

Which statement below best applies to the following expression?

Answer 1

I I'm almost positive the correct answer is c

Answer 2

Answer:

The above two terms cannot be combined because the radicands are not identical.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$-4\sqrt{11}-5\sqrt{13}$

we have to choose the statement which best applies to above expression.

The above two terms in the expression have same indices but different radicands i.e

$-4\sqrt{11}$  → radicand is 11

$-5\sqrt{13}$ →  radicand is 13

Due to different radicand the above two terms can not be combined.

Hence, the above two terms cannot be combined because the radicands are not identical.

Hence, option A is correct
