Which option disproves the wrong idea (\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}=\sqrt{a+b})?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (a=4,b=9)
Step 1: For (a=4,b=9), the left side is (2+3=5). Step 2: The right side is (\sqrt{13}), which is not (5). Step 3: When adding square roots, the numbers inside the roots are not added directly.
