Question

Find the radicand and index of 5√(2). Question 4 options: Radicand: x, Index: 5 Radicand: 2, Index: 5 Radicand: 2x, Index: 2 Radicand: 2x, Index: 5

Answer 1

Answer:

Radicand: 2; index: 2  

Step-by-step explanation:

$5\sqrt{2}$

The radicand is the value inside the radical symbol (2)

The index tells which root is being taken. If there is no index written, it is understood to be 2 (a square root).

If you mean

$\sqrt [5] {2}$

the radicand is 2 and the index is 5.
