Which of the following is the radical expression of 2d7/10?
\(\sqrt[7]{2}d^{10}\), \(\sqrt[10]{2}d^{7}\), 2\(\sqrt[10]{d^{7}}\), 2\(\sqrt[7]{d^{10}}\)
Solution:
If n is a positive integer that is greater than x and a is a real number or a factor, then
\(a^{\frac{x}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{a^{x}}\)---------->(1)
Here, 7/10 is a non-integer rational exponent.
Using (1) above \(2d^{\frac{7}{10}}\) can be converted into a radical in the following manner:
In the given problem, a = d; n = 10 and x = 2 Therefore ,
\(2d^{\frac{7}{10}}\) = 2\(\sqrt[10]{d^{7}}\)
In mathematics, a radical expression is defined as an expression containing a radical (√) symbol. Many people mistakenly call the symbol '√' a square root but actually it is used to find a higher cube root also but then the representation is \(\sqrt[3]{x}\).
Higher roots can also be represented and the nth root is represented as \(\sqrt[n]{x}\).
Which of the following is the radical expression of 2d7/10?
Summary:
The radical expression of 2d7/10 is 2\(\sqrt[10]{d^{7}}\).
