Which statement below best applies to the following expression?
-4 sqrt 11 -5 sqrt 13
a.
the two terms cannot be combined because the radicands are not identical, and cannot be simplified so that they are identical
b.
the two terms cannot be combined because the indices are not identical
c.
the two terms cannot be combined because the resulting value of the subtraction would be negative
d.
the two terms may be combined

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

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

 → radicand is 11

→  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

step-by-step explanation:

use that smart brain

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
