Question

Which choice is equivalent to the expression below? -25
​

Answer 1

Answer:5i

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option A.

Explanation:

The given expression is

`-25`

According to the reflexive property of equality, all values are equal to itself.

a = a

where, a be any real number.

Using the reflexive property we can say that

`-25=-25`

It means -25 is equal or equivalent to -25.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Note: If the given expression is
`√(-25)`, then

`√(-25)=√(25)√(-1)`
`[\because √(ab)=√(a)\sqrt {b}]`

`√(-25)=5i`
`[\because √(-1)=i]`

Then the correct option is B.
