can anyone teach me how to solve an equation contaning three radicals

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a practice problem might be a good thing to work with as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sir but i dont know how to solve the equatin if it is contaning 3radical i can only solve upto 2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

can you post a problem that has 3radical ? you mean a cube root? or 3 square roots? more context is needed

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[x+\sqrt 2=\sqrt 8+\sqrt {32}\\ x=\sqrt {2^2\times2}+\sqrt {2^2\times2^2\times2}-\sqrt2\\ x=2\sqrt2+2\times2\sqrt{2}-\sqrt 2\\x=(2-2\times2-1)\sqrt2\\x=-3\sqrt2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no sir i mean 3 square roots

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks rahuk sir it will help me definetly..

OpenStudy (amistre64):

squareroots, and any other radical, can be considered as an unknown ... a variable. And they can be treated as such. If you can present us with a problem to address this would make an abstract idea a bit more concrete to deal with.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

simplifying a radical helps to express all the terms in the setup as "like terms"

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[\sqrt3-\sqrt{27}+\sqrt{90000}\\ =\sqrt3-\sqrt{3\times3^2}+\sqrt{3^2}\times\sqrt{100^2}\\ =\sqrt3-3\sqrt3+3\times100\\ =(1-3)\sqrt3+300\\ =300-2\sqrt3\]
