Capitolo 1, Problema 75

Add or subtract terms whenever possible. 425+3254\(\sqrt\)[5]{2} + 3\(\sqrt\)[5]{2}

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the like terms in the expression. Both terms have the fifth root of 2, which can be written as \(4 \sqrt[5]{2}\) and \(3 \sqrt[5]{2}\).
Since the radical parts are the same (\(\sqrt[5]{2}\)), you can combine the coefficients (the numbers in front of the radicals).
Add the coefficients: \(4 + 3 = 7\).
Write the combined expression as the sum of the new coefficient and the common radical: \(7 \sqrt[5]{2}\).
This is the simplified form of the expression after combining like terms.
