Math Problem Statement

Simplify the expression completely: √49 + 4√-9 + ∛512

Solution

Let's simplify the expression step by step:

The expression is:

49+49+5123\sqrt{49} + 4\sqrt{-9} + \sqrt[3]{512}

Step 1: Simplifying 49\sqrt{49}

49=7\sqrt{49} = 7

Step 2: Simplifying 494\sqrt{-9}

Here, we encounter a negative square root, 9\sqrt{-9}. This involves imaginary numbers.

9=3i\sqrt{-9} = 3i So, 49=4×3i=12i4\sqrt{-9} = 4 \times 3i = 12i

Step 3: Simplifying 5123\sqrt[3]{512}

We take the cube root of 512: 5123=8\sqrt[3]{512} = 8

Final Expression:

Combining all the simplified terms: 7+12i+8=15+12i7 + 12i + 8 = 15 + 12i

Thus, the simplified expression is:

15+12i15 + 12i
