Sagot :

Explanation

the properties of exponents

[tex]\begin{gathered} \sqrt[n]{a}=a^{\frac{1}{n}} \\ \sqrt[n]{a^{n^{}}b^n}\text{ = ab} \\ \sqrt[]{ab}=\sqrt[]{a}\cdot\sqrt[]{b} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 1

Zoe believes

[tex]\sqrt[]{2}+\sqrt[]{8\text{ }}=\text{ 2.21}[/tex]

Marsden Believes

[tex]\sqrt[]{2}+\sqrt[]{8}=3.21[/tex]

Step 2

[tex]\sqrt[]{8}=\sqrt[]{4}\cdot\sqrt[]{2}=\text{ 2}\sqrt[]{2}[/tex]

then

[tex]\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{2}+\sqrt[]{8}=\text{ }\sqrt[]{2}+2\sqrt[]{2}=3\sqrt[]{2} \\ \text{also } \\ \sqrt[]{2}=\text{ 1.4142} \\ so, \\ \sqrt[]{2}+\sqrt[]{8}=3\sqrt[]{2}=3\cdot1.4142=4.24 \end{gathered}[/tex]

then

[tex]\sqrt[]{2}+\sqrt[]{8}=3\sqrt[]{2}=3\cdot1.4142=4.24[/tex]
