Simplify:
$(a) \sqrt{\frac{98}{162}} (b) \sqrt[3]{\frac{24}{375}} (c) \sqrt[4]{\frac{4}{324}}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part a. After simplifying we get, $\frac{7}{9} .$

Part b. After simplifying we get, $\frac{2}{5} .$

Part c. After simplifying we get, $\frac{1}{3} .$

Step by step solution

Part a Step 1. Rewrite the radicand as a product using the largest perfect square factor inside the radical

So, $\sqrt{\frac{98}{162}} = \sqrt{\frac{49 路 2}{81 路 2}}$

Part a Step 2. Simplify the fraction by removing common factors

Thus, $\sqrt{\frac{49 路 2}{81 路 2}} = \sqrt{\frac{49}{81}}$

Part a Step 3. Simplify

After simplifying we get,

$\sqrt{\frac{49}{81}} = \sqrt{\frac{{(7)}^{2}}{{(9)}^{2}}} = \frac{7}{9}$

Part b Step 1. Rewrite the radicand as a product using the largest perfect square factor inside the radical

So, $\sqrt[3]{\frac{24}{375}} = \sqrt[3]{\frac{8 路 3}{125 路 3}}$

Part b Step 2. Simplify the fraction by removing common factors

Thus, $\sqrt[3]{\frac{8 路 3}{125 路 3}} = \sqrt[3]{\frac{8}{125}}$

Part b Step 3. Simplify

After simplifying we get,

$\sqrt[3]{\frac{8}{125}} = \sqrt[3]{\frac{{(2)}^{3}}{{(5)}^{3}}} = \frac{2}{5}$

Part c Step 1. Rewrite the radicand as a product using the largest perfect square factor inside the radical

So, $\sqrt[4]{\frac{4}{324}} = \sqrt[4]{\frac{1 路 4}{81 路 4}}$

Part c Step 2. Simplify the fraction by removing common factors

Thus, $\sqrt[4]{\frac{1 路 4}{81 路 4}} \sqrt[4]{\frac{1}{81}}$

Part c Step 3. Simplify

After simplifying we get,

$\sqrt[4]{\frac{1}{81}} = \sqrt[4]{\frac{{(1)}^{4}}{{(3)}^{4}}} = \frac{1}{3}$
