Question 217338
Simplify the expression


{{{(16)^(1/2)=sqrt(16)=sqrt(4^2)=(4^2)^(1/2)=4^(2/2)=4^1=4}}}


The above solution can be reduced to a smaller number of steps but hopefully it shows the process in solving the problem in a number of ways.


I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
