QuestionWhich number is NOT an entire radical?
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 .
Since , we have:
STEP 4
Simplify .
Since , we have:
STEP 5
Simplify .
The number is not a perfect square, and it cannot be simplified further because it is the product of prime numbers and .
STEP 6
Simplify .
The number is not a perfect square, and it cannot be simplified further because it is the product of prime numbers , , and .
STEP 7
Identify the expression that is not an entire radical.
The expressions and simplify to whole numbers and , respectively. The expressions and do not simplify to whole numbers, but 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:
