Question

An expression is shown below:

Answer 1

√(2^5)+√2

4√2+√2

(4+1)√2

5√2

There is a problem however...5√2 is IRRATIONAL because √2 is irrational, ie, it cannot be expressed as a ration of two integers...

So the problems simplified is certainly 5√2, but it is irrational.

Maybe there is a typo and should read:

C. It is IRrational and equal to 5√2

Answer 2

C) sqrt(32) = sqrt(2^5)=4sqrt(2), then + sqrt(2) = 5 * sqrt(2)
