Question 49533: Okay guys I think I got this but want to check with someone of "authority".
Simplify the following equations as much as possible:
10 + sqrt(16 - 9) / (4 / 2)^3
= (10 + √7) / 8
= 12.65 / 8
= 1.58
Thanks!!

you don't have brackets around 10 + sqrt(16 - 9) so i do not know if the denominator of 8 is under everything, as you wrote or just the radical part... that is for you to clarify to yourself.

If it is everything, then is correct. Do not evaluate it...the question asks you to simplify NOT evaluate. Your answer is incorrect in that it is a rounded up version of a never ending decimal. That is why we write radicals... they are the EXACT number.

What we could do is:




but this is questionably NOT simpler than ... so leave it alone as as your answer.
