Answer 1

I can't be sure how the radical and the square are grouped from the way it's written. Could you confirm with parentheses or using sqrt() and ^ for powers? For example, which of these did you mean?

A) (110 - 137) / sqrt(3 + 4(-5)^2)
B) 110 - 137 - sqrt(3 + 4(-5)^2)
C) 110 - 137*sqrt(3 + 4(-5)^2)
D) 110 - 137 - sqrt(3) + 4(-5)^2
E) 110 - 137 + 4(-5)^2 (i.e. no square root)

I can evaluate whichever one you intended. (For reference: A ≈ -2.662, B ≈ -37.149, C ≈ -1281.35, D ≈ 72.268, E = 73.) None of those match the choices 97, 103, 37, so please confirm the exact expression.
