To simplify the expression \((-\sqrt{49} + 5i) + (8 - \sqrt{4})\), we first simplify each part:
- \(-\sqrt{49} = -7\)
- \(-\sqrt{4} = -2\)
Now substitute these values back into the expression:
\[ (-7 + 5i) + (8 - 2) \]
Now simplify the real part:
\[ (-7 + 8 - 2) + 5i = (-1) + 5i \]
Combining the terms gives us:
\[ -1 + 5i \]
None of the options given match the simplified expression of \(-1 + 5i\). Therefore, the choices you provided do not reflect the simplified version correctly. The correct outcome is:
\[-1 + 5i\] which is not in your list. Would you like me to help you based on a different set of conditions?
