Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Simplify the following expression: \$\sqrt(81) + root(3)(-8)\$

2

Step

Evaluate the square root of 81:

\$\sqrt(81)\$ = 9

3

Step

Evaluate the cube root of -8:

\$root(3)(-8)\$ = -2

4

Step

Substitute the values back into the expression:

\$\sqrt(81) + root(3)(-8)\$ = 9 + (-2)

5

Step

Add the terms:

9 + (-2) = 9 - 2 = 7

6

Step

So, the simplified expression is 7.

7

Choice.A

This option suggests that the simplified expression \$\sqrt(81) + root(3)(-8)\$ equals 7. We found earlier that \$\sqrt(81) = 9\$ and \$root(3)(-8)\$ = -2, and when we add these values, we indeed get 9 - 2 = 7, which matches this option. So, option A is correct

7

8

Choice.B

This option doesn’t match the result we obtained. While \$\sqrt(81)\$ equals 9, the expression also includes \$root(3)(-8)\$, which equals -2. Therefore, the total sum is not 9

9

9

Choice.C

This option doesn’t match the result we obtained. The expression \$\sqrt(81) + root(3)(-8)\$ doesn’t simplify to 4; we found earlier that it simplifies to 7

4

10

Choice.D

This option doesn’t match the result we obtained. The expression \$\sqrt(81) + root(3)(-8)\$ doesn’t simplify to 24; we found earlier that it simplifies to 7

24

Answer

Option

A
