Answer:

C (The third answer). The square root of terms separated by addition and subtraction cannot be calculated individually.

Explanation:

This problem can be thought similarly to: (x-2)²

A common mistake would to make the x squared and the -2 squared like x²+4, however, the problem should be solved like (x-2)(x-2) which equals to: x² - 4x + 4

In this question, if you square root an expression like ±√(b²-4ac), you cannot just take the square root of b² unless it was (b²)(-4ac).

The terms can only be divided individually if they are either multiplied or divided, but cannot if they are added or subtracted.
