To simplify the expression \(-\sqrt{49} - \sqrt{-64}\), we start by calculating each square root:
- \(-\sqrt{49} = -7\) (since the square root of 49 is 7).
- \(-\sqrt{-64} = -\sqrt{64} \cdot \sqrt{-1} = -8i\) (since \(\sqrt{-1} = i\) and \(\sqrt{64} = 8\)).
Now we combine the results:
\[ -\sqrt{49} - \sqrt{-64} = -7 - 8i \]
The simplified expression is:
\(-7 - 8i\)
Since this option is not directly listed in your responses, it may imply a typographical or presentation issue. However, based the answers provided, the closest form that represents a complex number is:
7 - 8i.
If this was a part of the intended response formats, it would represent the correct simplification despite the negative sign confusion.
If none of the response options reflect \(-7 - 8i\), there may have been an error in the answer key provided.
