Question

Solve the following exercise:

11010= \sqrt[10]{\sqrt[10]{1}}=

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Solve the following problem
00:06 When we have a number (A) in a root of order (B) in a root of order (C)
00:09 The result equals the number (A) in a root of the order of their product (B times C)
00:12 Let's apply this formula to our exercise
00:18 Calculate the order of the product
00:27 A root of any order of the number 1 always equals 1
00:36 This is the solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll observe the following process:

  • Step 1: Recognize the expression 11010 \sqrt[10]{\sqrt[10]{1}} involves nested roots.
  • Step 2: Apply the formula for nested roots: xmn=xnm \sqrt[n]{\sqrt[m]{x}} = \sqrt[n \cdot m]{x} .
  • Step 3: Set n=10 n = 10 and m=10 m = 10 , resulting in 110×10=1100 \sqrt[10 \times 10]{1} = \sqrt[100]{1} .
  • Step 4: Simplify 1100 \sqrt[100]{1} . Any root of 1 is 1, as 1k=1 1^k = 1 for any positive rational number k k .

Thus, the evaluation of the original expression 11010 \sqrt[10]{\sqrt[10]{1}} equals 1.

Comparing this result to the provided choices:

  • Choice 1 is 1 1 .
  • Choice 2 is 1100 \sqrt[100]{1} , which is also 1.
  • Choice 3 is 1=1 \sqrt{1} = 1 .
  • Choice 4 states all answers are correct.

Therefore, choice 4 is correct: All answers are equivalent to the solution, being 1.

Thus, the correct selection is: All answers are correct.

Answer

All answers are correct.
