Math Problem Statement
Write the fourth root of 162 in simplified radical form
Solution
The fourth root of 162 in simplified radical form can be expressed as:
We start by factoring 162:
Now, rewrite the expression using the factors:
[ \sqrt[4]{162} = \sqrt[4]{2 \times 3^4} ]
Since , we can simplify the radical expression:
[ \sqrt[4]{162} = 3\sqrt[4]{2} ]
Thus, the simplified form of the fourth root of 162 is:
