The answer is......... 27
Answer: To know whether a radical expression is in simplest form or not you should put the numbers and letters inside the radical in terms of prime factors. Then, the radical expression is in the simplest form if all the numbers and letters inside the radical are prime factors with a power less than the index of the radical
Explanation:
Any prime factor raised to a power greater than the index of the root can be simplified and any factor raised to a power less than the index of the root cannot be simplified
For example simplify the following radical in its simplest form:
![\sqrt[5]{3645 a^8b^7c^3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7B3645%20a%5E8b%5E7c%5E3%7D%20)
1) Factor 3645 in its prime factors: 3645 = 3^6 * 5
2) Since the powr of 3 is 6, and 6 can be divided by the index of the root, 5, you can simplify in this way:
- 6 ÷ 5 = 1 with reminder 1, so 3^1 leaves the radical and 3^1 stays in the radical
3) since the factor 5 has power 1 it can not leave the radical
4) the power of a is 8, then:
8 ÷ 5 = 1 with reminder 3 => a^1 leaves the radical and a^3 stays inside the radical.
5) the power of b is 7, then:
7 ÷ 5 = 1 with reminder 2 => b^1 leaves the radical and b^2 stays inside the radical
6) the power of c is 3. Since 3 is less than 5 (the index of the radical) c^3 stays inside the radical.
7) the expression simplified to its simplest form is
![3ab \sqrt[5]{3.5.a^3b^2c^3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3ab%20%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7B3.5.a%5E3b%5E2c%5E3%7D%20)
And you know
it cannot be further simplified because all the numbers and letters inside the radical are prime factors with a power less than the index of the radical.
False, it's the other way around: you divide the numerator by the denominator.
For example, to evaluate
you divide 8 by 15:

Because it has ">" in it.
<h3>The interest rate is 8 % if your balance on an investment of 857 dollars at the end of six years is 1268.36 dollars</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Principal = $ 857
Amount = $ 1268.36
Number of years = 6
Rate of interest = ?
Simple Interest = Amount - principal
Simple Interest = 1268.36 - 857
Simple Interest = 411.36
<em><u>Use the formula,</u></em>

Thus the interest rate is 8 %
