Perform the following operations and write the answers and in radical form

The given expression is
[tex]8^{1/2} +16^{1/4}-12^{1/2}+81^{1/4}[/tex]
We can write 8 as cube of 2, 16 ad fourth power of 2, 12 as square of 2 times 3 and 81 as fourth power of 3, that is
[tex](2^3)^{1/2} +(2^4)^{1/2} - (2^2 *3)^{1/2} + (3^4)^{1/2}[/tex]
In case of two powers, we have to multiply them.
[tex]=2^{3/2} + 2^{4/2} -2^{4/2} * 3^{1/2} + 3^{4/2}[/tex]
Simplifying the exponent, will give
[tex]=2*2^{1/2} +4 -4*3^{1/2} +9[/tex]
Combining like terms,
[tex]=13+2*2^{1/2} -4*3^{1/2}[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]2\sqrt{2} +5-2\sqrt{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Property of Radical expression is:
[tex](a^x)^{\frac{y}{z} } = a^{\frac{xy}{z} }[/tex]
Step to step solution of given expression is:
[tex]8^{\frac{1}{2} }+16^{\frac{1}{4} }-12^{\frac{1}{2} }+81^{\frac{1}{4} }\\\Rightarrow (2^{3})^{\frac{1}{2} }+(2^{4})^{\frac{1}{4} }-(2^{2}\times3)^{\frac{1}{2} }+(3^{4})^{\frac{1}{4} }\\\Rightarrow 2^{\frac{3}{2} } + 2 - 2\sqrt{3} +3\\\Rightarrow 2\sqrt{2} +5-2\sqrt{3}[/tex]
