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.

Is the following statement true or false? If x^2 = p and p > 0, then x = ∑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 = -∑p. C. The statement is false because if x^2 = p and p > 0, then x = ∑p or x = -∑p. D. The statement is true.

determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. If $x=-2,$ then $\sqrt{x^{6}}=x^{3}$
