Math Problem Statement

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

Solution

Let's simplify the given expression step by step:

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

Step 1: Simplify the roots individually.

  1. 643\sqrt[3]{64}:

    • 64=4364 = 4^3, so 643=4\sqrt[3]{64} = 4.
  2. 2564\sqrt[4]{256}:

    • 256=44256 = 4^4, so 2564=4\sqrt[4]{256} = 4.
  3. 64\sqrt{64}:

    • 64=8264 = 8^2, so 64=8\sqrt{64} = 8.
  4. 256\sqrt{256}:

    • 256=162256 = 16^2, so 256=16\sqrt{256} = 16.

Step 2: Substitute the simplified values back into the expression.

The expression becomes:

4+48+16=824=13.\sqrt{\frac{4 + 4}{8 + 16}} = \sqrt{\frac{8}{24}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}}.

Step 3: Simplify the square root.

13=13.\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}.

Final Answer:

13.\boxed{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}.
