Given:


\sqrt[]{x+y}

Let


\sqrt[]{x+y}=\sqrt[]{x}+\sqrt[]{y}

So square of both side is:


\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{x+y}=\sqrt[]{x}+\sqrt[]{y} \\ \text{squre f both side:} \\ (\sqrt[]{x+y})^2=(\sqrt[]{x}+√(y))^2 \\ x+y=x+y+2\sqrt[]{xy} \end{gathered}

Here :


\sqrt[]{x+y}\\e\sqrt[]{x}+\sqrt[]{y}

So the given statement is is false.
