The algebric expression of substrabing 4x from the square root of y is?

1.
\tt √(y) - 4x

2.
\tt4x - √(y)

3.
\tt {y}^(2) - 4x

4.
\tt4x - {y}^(2)


\large \boxed{\mathbb{ANSWER\: WITH\: EXPLANATION} \downarrow}

  • Here, we have the keyword ⇨ subtracting 4x from the square root of y.
  • Since, there's the word 'from', we must put the square root of y first, then add the minus symbol since the operation given is subtraction & lastly, we should add 4x.
  • This is how you write the square root of y
    \downarrow

  • \large \tt √(y)
  • The last 2 options show y² (y to the power of 2 / y square).... it's not the square root of y. So, we can eliminate the last 2 options.
  • Now, let's identify the correct answer from the 1st 2 options. I already explained that the square root of y should come first, so the correct answer is Option 1.
