part 3 of 3 (c) $-25^{\\frac{1}{2}} = \\square$

$part 3 of 3 (c) $-25^{\\frac{1}{2}} = \\square$$

part 3 of 3 (c) $-25^{\frac{1}{2}} = \square$

Recall $a^{\frac{1}{2}} = \sqrt{a}$, so $-25^{\frac{1}{2}} = -\sqrt{25}$

$\sqrt{25} = 5$, so $-\sqrt{25} = -5$

$\boldsymbol{-5}$ (using the $\sqrt{\square}$ template, input $25$ and apply the negative sign outside, resulting in $-5$)
