Math Problem Statement

square root of 27 + 5 square root of 3 - cube square root of 75 using addition and subtraction of radicals

Solution

Let's simplify the expression step by step:

27+53753\sqrt{27} + 5\sqrt{3} - \sqrt[3]{75}

Step 1: Simplify 27\sqrt{27}

The square root of 27 can be simplified by factoring 27 as 9×39 \times 3, where 9 is a perfect square.

27=9×3=9×3=33\sqrt{27} = \sqrt{9 \times 3} = \sqrt{9} \times \sqrt{3} = 3\sqrt{3}

Step 2: Simplify 753\sqrt[3]{75}

To simplify 753\sqrt[3]{75}, first factor 75 as 25×325 \times 3, where 25 is a perfect cube of 525^2.

[ \sqrt[3]{75} = \sqrt[3]{25 \times 3} = \sqrt[3]{25} \times \sqrt[3]{3} ]

Since 25 is not a perfect cube, the cube root of 25 remains as 253\sqrt[3]{25}, and the cube root of 3 remains as 33\sqrt[3]{3}.

Thus, 753=253×33\sqrt[3]{75} = \sqrt[3]{25} \times \sqrt[3]{3}, so it remains in its cube root form.

Step 3: Combine the expression

Now we combine everything back into the original expression:

[ \sqrt{27} + 5\sqrt{3} - \sqrt[3]{75} = 3\sqrt{3} + 5\sqrt{3} - \sqrt[3]{75} ]

We can combine the like terms 333\sqrt{3} and 535\sqrt{3}:

[ (3 + 5)\sqrt{3} - \sqrt[3]{75} = 8\sqrt{3} - \sqrt[3]{75} ]

Final Answer:

837538\sqrt{3} - \sqrt[3]{75}

This is the simplified form of the expression.
