To understand the constraints on the variable \( s \) in the formula \( s = \sqrt{A} \), we need to consider the nature of the square root function and the variable \( A \).
1. **The value of s is restricted to**:
- **non-negative numbers (including zero)**: Since the square root of a non-negative number is defined and results in a non-negative value, \( s \) must be \( s \geq 0 \).
2. **The constraint on the variable s is written as**:
- \( s \geq 0 \)
So the correct selections are:
- The value of \( s \) is restricted to **non-negative numbers**.
- The constraint on the variable s is written as **\( s \geq 0 \)**.
