Question

radical expressions 95 76% √22 simplify ?

Explanation:

Step1: Factorize the radicand

Factorize 22: \(22 = 2\times11\). Both 2 and 11 are prime numbers, so there are no perfect square factors (other than 1) in 22.

Step2: Determine if simplification is possible

Since the radicand (22) has no perfect square factors greater than 1, the square root of 22, \(\sqrt{22}\), cannot be simplified further. So the simplified form of \(\sqrt{22}\) is just \(\sqrt{22}\) itself.

Answer:

\(\sqrt{22}\) (or we can also write its approximate decimal value, but since the problem says "simplify" for a radical, the exact simplified form is \(\sqrt{22}\); if we calculate the approximate value, \(\sqrt{22}\approx4.690\))
