Answer the following question based on the information given below.
For real numbers $x, y,$ let
$f(x, y) = \left\{\begin{matrix} \text{Positive square-root of}\; (x + y),\;\text{if}\; (x + y)^{0.5}\;\text{is real} \\ (x + y)^2,\;\text{otherwise} \end{matrix}\right.$
$g(x, y) = \left\{\begin{matrix} (x + y)^2,\;\text{if}\; (x + y)^{0.5}\;\text{is real} \\ –(x + y),\;\text{otherwise} \end{matrix}\right.$
Which of the following expressions yields a positive value for every pair of non-zero real number $(x, y)?$
- $f(x, y) – g(x, y)$
- $f(x, y) – (g(x, y))^2$
- $g(x, y) – (f(x, y))^2$
- $f(x, y) + g(x, y)$
