  evaluate if possible the function at the given values(s) of the independent variable. Simplify the results.
  
  f(x)= square root x+5
  (a) f(-4)
  (b) f(11)
  (c) f(-8)
  (d) f(x+deltax)

  Is f(x) sqrt(x+5) or (sqrtx) +5?
  
  I think they mean sqrt (x+5), because is gives integer answers in some cases.
  
  You can't take a square root of a negaive number.
  
  Just plug in the indicated number for x and perform the calculation.
  
  For (b), if x=11, then x + 5 = 15 and sqrt 16 = 4. They probably only want the positive square root.
  
  I would just leave (d) as
  sqrt (x + 5 + delta x)
explanation: The document is a homework help request for a calculus problem. It contains a function \( f(x) = \sqrt{x + 5} \) and asks to evaluate the function at specific values of \( x \). The document includes a question but does not provide answers to the specific parts (a), (b), (c), and (d).
distilabel_metadata.content: Evaluate the user given text extract and determine if it contains a math question and optionally and answer to this question.
