What are the restrictions, if any, on values for the variables in the following radical expressions?

When you have a sqrt()

Make sure the value inside of it is nonnegative. 

So

sqrt(3) works since 3 is not negative

sqrt(2.5) works since 2.5 is nonnegative. 

sqrt(0) works since 0 is nonnegative. 

sqrt(-3) does not work since -3 is negative.
