A technician is using a diagnostic formula to calculate pressure and arrives at the equation: the square root of (p + 12) equals -5. Based on the definition of a principal square root, what is the solution to this equation?

A logistics manager is using a square root function to model the time it takes for a delivery truck to return to the warehouse. After isolating the radical, the manager finds that sqrt(t) = -15. Based on the definition of a principal square root, the number of real solutions for the time 't' is ____.

A technician is troubleshooting a circuit and derives the equation sqrt(x + 10) = -7 to find the required voltage. True or False: This equation has no real solution because the principal square root of an expression is always non-negative.
