Question

Is the following statement true or false? If $x^2 = p$ and $p > 0$, then $x = sqrt{p}$. Choose the correct answer below. A. The statement is false because if $x^2 = p$ and $p > 0$, then $x = p$ or $-p$. B. The statement is false because if $x^2 = p$ and $p > 0$, then $x = -sqrt{p}$. C. The statement is false because if $x^2 = p$ and $p > 0$, then $x = sqrt{p}$ or $x = -sqrt{p}$. D. The statement is true.
