1 answer

To simplify \((-\sqrt{-49} + 5i) + (8 - \sqrt{4})\), let's break it down step by step.

  1. Simplify \(-\sqrt{-49}\): \[ -\sqrt{-49} = -\sqrt{49}i = -7i \]

  2. Simplify \(-\sqrt{4}\): \[ -\sqrt{4} = -2 \]

  3. Now substitute these back into the equation: \[ (-7i + 5i) + (8 - 2) \]

  4. Combine like terms:

    • For the imaginary parts: \[ -7i + 5i = -2i \]
    • For the real parts: \[ 8 - 2 = 6 \]
  5. Combine the results: \[ 6 - 2i \]

None of the provided responses match \(6 - 2i\). Please double-check the original expression and values to ensure correct classification and simplification.
