Don’t make this mistake please

The video tutorial explains why the square root cannot be distributed over addition or subtraction. It uses an example to illustrate a common misconception where students incorrectly simplify expressions like sqrt(X^2 + 4) as X + 2. The correct approach is demonstrated by simplifying the expression under the square root first, showing that sqrt(13) is not equal to 5, thus highlighting the importance of proper simplification techniques.
