Given function is,


f(x)=\sqrt[]{x}+1

So the value for x subsituted here is -2. so we get,


\begin{gathered} f(-2)=\sqrt[]{-2}+1 \\ f(-2)=i\sqrt[]{2}+1 \end{gathered}

So the requred answer is the function cannot have a real value, because it has a negative sign inside the root. so it is not possible for this function to have an real value output.

But the function can have an output in Imaginary value ( i ).
