QuestionWhich number is NOT an entire radical? 3433\sqrt[3]{343} 16\sqrt{16} 35\sqrt{35} 3423 \sqrt{42}

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. An entire radical is a radical expression that cannot be simplified further into a simpler radical form.
2. We need to determine which of the given numbers is not an entire radical.

STEP 2

1. Simplify each radical expression.
2. Identify the expression that is not an entire radical.

STEP 3

Simplify 3433\sqrt[3]{343}.
Since 343=73343 = 7^3, we have:
3433=733=7\sqrt[3]{343} = \sqrt[3]{7^3} = 7

STEP 4

Simplify 16\sqrt{16}.
Since 16=4216 = 4^2, we have:
16=42=4\sqrt{16} = \sqrt{4^2} = 4

STEP 5

Simplify 35\sqrt{35}.
The number 3535 is not a perfect square, and it cannot be simplified further because it is the product of prime numbers 55 and 77.
35 remains as 35\sqrt{35} \text{ remains as } \sqrt{35}

STEP 6

Simplify 3423 \sqrt{42}.
The number 4242 is not a perfect square, and it cannot be simplified further because it is the product of prime numbers 22, 33, and 77.
342 remains as 3423 \sqrt{42} \text{ remains as } 3 \sqrt{42}

STEP 7

Identify the expression that is not an entire radical.
The expressions 3433\sqrt[3]{343} and 16\sqrt{16} simplify to whole numbers 77 and 44, respectively. The expressions 35\sqrt{35} and 3423 \sqrt{42} do not simplify to whole numbers, but 35\sqrt{35} is a single radical expression that cannot be simplified further, making it an entire radical.
Therefore, the expression that is not an entire radical is:
342\boxed{3 \sqrt{42}}
