This image shows a nested radical expression:

5+100+160+500+25\sqrt{5 + \sqrt{100 + \sqrt{160 + \sqrt{500 + \sqrt{25}}}}}

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. Start with the innermost radical: 25=5\sqrt{25} = 5

  2. Move to the next radical: 500+5=505\sqrt{500 + 5} = \sqrt{505}

    50522.47\sqrt{505} \approx 22.47

  3. Next radical: 160+22.47=182.47\sqrt{160 + 22.47} = \sqrt{182.47}

    182.4713.51\sqrt{182.47} \approx 13.51

  4. Next radical: 100+13.51=113.51\sqrt{100 + 13.51} = \sqrt{113.51}

    113.5110.65\sqrt{113.51} \approx 10.65

  5. Final radical: 5+10.65=15.65\sqrt{5 + 10.65} = \sqrt{15.65}

    15.653.96\sqrt{15.65} \approx 3.96

So, the value of the entire nested radical expression is approximately 3.96.
