Math Problem Statement

Simplify the following radical expression: \(\sqrt{\frac{\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{64} + 4\sqrt{256}}}{\sqrt{64} + \sqrt{256}}}\)

Solution

The given expression in the image can be interpreted as:

64+4256364+256\sqrt{\frac{\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{64} + 4\sqrt{256}}}{\sqrt{64} + \sqrt{256}}}

Step-by-step breakdown:

  1. Simplify individual square roots:

    • 64=8\sqrt{64} = 8
    • 256=16\sqrt{256} = 16
  2. Numerator simplification:

    • Inside the cube root: 8+4×163\sqrt[3]{8 + 4 \times 16}
    • This becomes: 8+643=723\sqrt[3]{8 + 64} = \sqrt[3]{72}
  3. Denominator simplification:

    • 64+256=8+16=24\sqrt{64} + \sqrt{256} = 8 + 16 = 24
  4. The expression now becomes: 72324\sqrt{\frac{\sqrt[3]{72}}{24}}

  5. Approximate cube root:

    • 7234.16\sqrt[3]{72} \approx 4.16
  6. Now we have: 4.16240.17330.416\sqrt{\frac{4.16}{24}} \approx \sqrt{0.1733} \approx 0.416

Thus, the simplified result of the expression is approximately 0.416.
