A student’s work to simplify and combine radicals is shown below. Select the statement which best applies to the sample mathematical work.

Given 2003-04-03-00-00_files/i0270000.jpg, I observe that 2003-04-03-00-00_files/i0270001.jpg and 2003-04-03-00-00_files/i0270002.jpg, and that 25 and 4 are perfect squares, so I simplify the expression to 2003-04-03-00-00_files/i0270003.jpg. I can then combine these terms to get 2003-04-03-00-00_files/i0270004.jpg, which is my answer.
