Which best explains why the expression 1 b2 - 4ac

cannot be rewritten as b1-4ac during the next step?
O
Negative values, like -4ac, do not have a square root.
The I symbol prevents the square root from being
evaluated.
The square root of terms separated by addition and
subtraction cannot be calculated individually.
The entire term b2 - 4ac must be divided by 2a before
its square root can be determined.
