Answer:
a. y=(-9)^2+3=81+3=84
y=square root of -9-2=3i-2
b. He cannot with the first but he can with with second. For the first, we have 0=x^2+3. Then subtract 4 from each side and get -3=x^2. This isn't possible in a theoretical term. For the second, you have 0=square root of x -2 or 2=square root of x. That means x is 4.
