Answer:

a)
\sqrt{56Definitely not undefined because 56 is a positive real number

b)
-\sqrt{56Definitely not undefined because 56 is a positive real number (and the negative sign is not under the square root)

c)
\sqrt{-56Definitely undefined because -56 is a negative number

__

We know that there is no real square root of a negative number because nothing multiplied by itself results in a negative number.

__

d)
\sqrt hCould be undefined because we don't know the value of
h; it could be positive or negative

e)
-\sqrt {hCould be undefined because we don't know the value of
h; it could be positive or negative (and the negative sign doesn't affect this because it is outside the square root)

f)
\sqrt{-h (when
h is positive) → Definitely undefined because the value inside of the square root is negative (a negative times a positive is a negative)
