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:
Step 1: Simplify
The square root of 27 can be simplified by factoring 27 as , where 9 is a perfect square.
Step 2: Simplify
To simplify , first factor 75 as , where 25 is a perfect cube of .
[ \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 , and the cube root of 3 remains as .
Thus, , 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 and :
[ (3 + 5)\sqrt{3} - \sqrt[3]{75} = 8\sqrt{3} - \sqrt[3]{75} ]
Final Answer:
This is the simplified form of the expression.
