We need to find the largest of the given roots of 64:
Calculate :
Since , we have:
Calculate :
Using the exponent , we get:
Calculate :
This simplifies to:
Calculate :
This gives us:
Now, let's compare these calculated values:
-
-
-
-
Among these values, the largest value is , which equals 8.
Therefore, the largest value is .
Solve the following exercise:
\( \sqrt[10]{\sqrt[10]{1}}= \)
For numbers greater than 1, smaller root indices produce larger results. Since has index 2 (the smallest), it gives the largest value: 8!
Use the fact that 64 = 2⁶! Then . For example:
Calculate each root separately first, then compare the decimal values. Don't try to compare the radical expressions directly - convert them to numbers!
Yes! For any number greater than 1:
For numbers between 0 and 1, this pattern reverses!
The square root symbol √ automatically means index 2. Writing is redundant - mathematicians prefer the simpler notation.
