Example Question - negative sign

Simplifying Square Roots with Negative Sign

The expression shown in the image is "-√12". To solve this, we will simplify the square root of 12 first and then apply the negative sign. √12 can be broken down into √(4 * 3) = √4 * √3. Since we know that √4 is 2, we have √12 = 2√3. Applying the negative sign to this result, we get: -√12 = -2√3 So, the simplified form of "-√12" is "-2√3".
