Exercies in radicals. The problem asks for the fifth root of 147. How do we simplify or solve this expression?
You can't.
The prime factors of 147=3*7*7
You can't simplify this because it doesn't have five of anything.
The only thing you can do is stick 147^(1/5) in your scientific calculator and get the approximate answer of:2.713085417.
Happy Calculating!!!
