Answer:


-y√(3)

Explanation:

Under the radical there is a perfect square, one can take the perfect square out, and write it by its square root. The result of taking the principal square root is always positive, but it is given that the perfect square factor is negative, thus, one must multiply the square root by the negative sign to ensure that the result is positive.
