√x^2+2 Is this possible as is?
No, the expression √x^2+2 is not possible as is because it lacks parentheses to indicate the intended order of operations. Without parentheses, it is unclear whether you want to first square x and then take the square root, or if you want to take the square root of x^2 and then add 2. To make it clear, you can add parentheses to indicate the desired order of operations.
For example, if you want to first square x and then take the square root, you can write it as √(x^2) + 2. This means you square x first, then take the square root, and finally add 2 to the result. Alternatively, if you want to take the square root of x^2 first and then add 2, you can write it as √(x^2 + 2).
By using parentheses, you can specify the order of operations and make the expression clear and solvable.
