  • Step 1: Simplify each term individually.
  • Step 2: Multiply the simplified terms together.
  • Step 3: Compare with choices if necessary.

Let's begin:

Step 1: Simplify each term:

The expression is 24 \sqrt{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \sqrt{\sqrt{4}} .

- Simplifying 2\sqrt{\sqrt{2}}: A root of a root involves multiplying the indices. We have 222\sqrt[2]{\sqrt[2]{2}}, which becomes 24\sqrt[4]{2}.

- Simplifying 4\sqrt{\sqrt{4}}: Note that 4=2\sqrt{4} = 2, so 2=2\sqrt{2} = \sqrt{2}.

Conclusively, 4=2\sqrt{\sqrt{4}} = \sqrt{2}.

Step 2: Multiply the simplified terms:

Now, multiply 24×2\sqrt[4]{2} \times \sqrt{2}:

242=2×21/24=23/24=84\sqrt[4]{2} \cdot \sqrt{2} = \sqrt[4]{2 \times 2^{1/2}} = \sqrt[4]{2^{3/2}} = \sqrt[4]{8}.

Therefore, our simplified expression is 84\sqrt[4]{8}.

Step 3: Compare with answer choices:

The correct choice is 84\sqrt[4]{8}, matching choice 3.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 84 \sqrt[4]{8} .

168= \sqrt{\sqrt{16}}\cdot\sqrt{\sqrt{8}}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 168 \sqrt{\sqrt{16}}\cdot\sqrt{\sqrt{8}} , we will follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Simplify each nested square root expression.
  • Step 2: Multiply the simplified expressions of the roots.

Step 1: Evaluate 16 \sqrt{\sqrt{16}} .
Since 16 can be expressed as 24 2^4 , we have: 16=(161/2)1/2=161/4=(24)1/4=24/4=21=2 \sqrt{\sqrt{16}} = \left(16^{1/2}\right)^{1/2} = 16^{1/4} = \left(2^4\right)^{1/4} = 2^{4/4} = 2^{1} = 2

Evaluate 8 \sqrt{\sqrt{8}} .
Since 8 can be expressed as 23 2^3 , we have: 8=(81/2)1/2=81/4=(23)1/4=23/4 \sqrt{\sqrt{8}} = \left(8^{1/2}\right)^{1/2} = 8^{1/4} = \left(2^3\right)^{1/4} = 2^{3/4}

Step 2: Multiply these simplified expressions together: 223/4=2123/4=21+3/4=27/4 2 \cdot 2^{3/4} = 2^{1} \cdot 2^{3/4} = 2^{1 + 3/4} = 2^{7/4}

Finally, converting back to radical form: 27/4=(27)1/4=274=1284 2^{7/4} = \left(2^7\right)^{1/4} = \sqrt[4]{2^7} = \sqrt[4]{128}

Thus, the solution to the problem is 1284 \sqrt[4]{128} , which corresponds to answer choice 3.

Answer

Exercise #4

Complete the following exercise:

42= \sqrt{\sqrt{4}}\cdot\sqrt{\sqrt{2}}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the expression 42 \sqrt{\sqrt{4}}\cdot\sqrt{\sqrt{2}} , we will use properties of exponents and roots.

First, let's simplify each part:

  • 4\sqrt{\sqrt{4}}:

We know 4=2\sqrt{4} = 2. Therefore, 4\sqrt{\sqrt{4}} can be rewritten as 2\sqrt{2}, because 4=2\sqrt{4} = 2 and further taking square root gives 21/22^{1/2}.

  • 2\sqrt{\sqrt{2}}:

This expression is equivalent to (21/2)1/2(2^{1/2})^{1/2}. Using the property (am)n=amn(a^{m})^{n} = a^{m \cdot n}, we have:

(21/2)1/2=21/4(2^{1/2})^{1/2} = 2^{1/4}.

Now, the original expression simplifies to:

221/4\sqrt{2} \cdot 2^{1/4}

This product is expressed as:

21/221/42^{1/2} \cdot 2^{1/4}. When multiplying like bases, add the exponents:

21/2+1/4=22/4+1/4=23/42^{1/2 + 1/4} = 2^{2/4 + 1/4} = 2^{3/4}

Thus, the final expression is:

21/422^{1/4}\sqrt{2}.

Comparing this to the choices provided, the correct answer is:

21/422^{1/4}\sqrt{2} (Choice 3).

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 2142\boxed{2^{\frac{1}{4}}\sqrt{2}}.

Answer

2142 2^{\frac{1}{4}}\sqrt{2}

Exercise #5

Complete the following exercise:

25253= \sqrt{25}\cdot\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{25}}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 25253\sqrt{25} \cdot \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{25}}, follow these steps:

  • First, express each root in terms of exponents:
    • 25=251/2\sqrt{25} = 25^{1/2}
    • 253=251/23\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{25}} = \sqrt[3]{25^{1/2}}
  • Using the law of exponents (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}, simplify 251/23\sqrt[3]{25^{1/2}} as follows:
    • (251/2)1/3=25(1/2)(1/3)=251/6(25^{1/2})^{1/3} = 25^{(1/2) \cdot (1/3)} = 25^{1/6}
  • Now, multiply the two expressions:
    • 251/2251/6=25(1/2+1/6)25^{1/2} \cdot 25^{1/6} = 25^{(1/2 + 1/6)}
    • Calculate the sum of the exponents: 12+16=36+16=46=23\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3}{6} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}
    • This gives: 252/325^{2/3}
  • Recognize 25=5225 = 5^2, thus: (52)2/3=52(2/3)=54/3(5^2)^{2/3} = 5^{2 \cdot (2/3)} = 5^{4/3}
  • Convert mixed fraction: 54/3=51+1/3=51135^{4/3} = 5^{1 + 1/3} = 5^{1\frac{1}{3}}

Therefore, the product 25253\sqrt{25} \cdot \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{25}} equals 5113\mathbf{5^{1\frac{1}{3}}}.

Answer

5113 5^{1\frac{1}{3}}

Exercise #6

Complete the following exercise:

16316= \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{16}}\cdot\sqrt[]{\sqrt{16}}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will simplify the expression 16316 \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{16}} \cdot \sqrt[]{\sqrt{16}} using the rules for exponents and roots.

First, consider the inner square root 16 \sqrt{16} . We know that:
16=161/2 \sqrt{16} = 16^{1/2}

Next, we address the cube root term 163 \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{16}} . Express 16\sqrt{16} as 161/216^{1/2}, then:

  • 163=161/23\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{16}} = \sqrt[3]{16^{1/2}} Convert to exponents: 161/23=(161/2)1/3=16(1/2)(1/3)=161/6 \sqrt[3]{16^{1/2}} = (16^{1/2})^{1/3} = 16^{(1/2) \cdot (1/3)} = 16^{1/6}
  • The other term is 16=161/2\sqrt{\sqrt{16}} = \sqrt{16^{1/2}} Convert to exponents: 161/2=(161/2)1/2=16(1/2)(1/2)=161/4 \sqrt{16^{1/2}} = (16^{1/2})^{1/2} = 16^{(1/2) \cdot (1/2)} = 16^{1/4}

Now, multiply these results:
161/6161/4 16^{1/6} \cdot 16^{1/4}

Using the product rule for exponents (aman=am+n)(a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}), combine the exponents:
161/6+1/4 16^{1/6 + 1/4}

Find the common denominator to add the fractions:

  • 1/6=2/121/6 = 2/12
  • 1/4=3/121/4 = 3/12 1/6+1/4=2/12+3/12=5/12 1/6 + 1/4 = 2/12 + 3/12 = 5/12

Thus, the expression becomes:
165/12 16^{5/12}

Therefore, the simplified expression is 16512 16^{\frac{5}{12}} .

Answer

16512 16^{\frac{5}{12}}

Step 2: Evaluate the cube roots.

  • 53\sqrt[3]{5} remains as 51/35^{1/3}.
  • 83\sqrt[3]{8} evaluates to 22 because 2×2×2=82 \times 2 \times 2 = 8.

Step 3: Multiply the results of the cube roots.

  • 51/32=2535^{1/3} \cdot 2 = 2 \sqrt[3]{5}.

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 3535=\sqrt[5]{\sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt[5]{\sqrt{3}} = , we follow these steps:

Step 1: Express each root using exponents.
35\sqrt[5]{\sqrt{3}} can be rewritten as (31/2)1/5(3^{1/2})^{1/5}, which simplifies to 31/103^{1/10} using the law (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}.

Step 2: Multiply the expressions.
We have (31/10)(31/10)(3^{1/10}) \cdot (3^{1/10}). According to the laws of exponents, aman=am+na^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}. Thus, the expression becomes 31/10+1/10=32/10=31/53^{1/10 + 1/10} = 3^{2/10} = 3^{1/5}.

Step 3: Convert back to a root, if necessary.

Therefore, the expression 3535\sqrt[5]{\sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt[5]{\sqrt{3}} simplifies to 31/53^{1/5}, which is equivalent to 95\sqrt[5]{9}.

To match with the given choices, observe that 31/53^{1/5} can also be expressed as 910\sqrt[10]{9} because 31/5=(32)1/103^{1/5} = (3^2)^{1/10}, which equals to 910\sqrt[10]{9}.

The correct answer is choice 4, 910\sqrt[10]{9}.

643643= \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{64}}\cdot\sqrt[3]{64}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve the problem step-by-step.

  • Step 1: Simplify 643 \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{64}} .
  • Step 2: Simplify 643 \sqrt[3]{64} .
  • Step 3: Multiply the results of Step 1 and Step 2.

Step 1: Consider 643 \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{64}} .

We can write 64 \sqrt{64} as 641/2 64^{1/2} . Thus, 643=641/23 \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{64}} = \sqrt[3]{64^{1/2}} .

Using the property amn=am/n \sqrt[n]{a^m} = a^{m/n} , we have (641/2)1/3=641/6 (64^{1/2})^{1/3} = 64^{1/6} .

Step 2: Simplify 643 \sqrt[3]{64} .

The cube root of a number b b is expressed as b1/3 b^{1/3} . Therefore, 643=641/3 \sqrt[3]{64} = 64^{1/3} .

Step 3: Multiply the two results.

We now compute 641/6641/3 64^{1/6} \cdot 64^{1/3} .

Using the property of exponents, aman=am+n a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n} , thus 641/6641/3=64(1/6+1/3)=64(1/6+2/6)=643/6=641/2 64^{1/6} \cdot 64^{1/3} = 64^{(1/6 + 1/3)} = 64^{(1/6 + 2/6)} = 64^{3/6} = 64^{1/2} .

Finally, 641/2 64^{1/2} is simply 64 \sqrt{64} , which equals 8 8 .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 8 8 , which corresponds to choice (3).
