A student's work to simplify a radical is shown below. Select the statement which best applies to the sample
mathematical work.
13
6
= X
= X
Thus,
A. The equality /13 x? is incorrect or invalid.
B. Removing the x from under the radical in the second step is incorrect or invalid.
C. The work shown above is correct, however, V7 may be simplified further.
D. The work shown above is correct, and
xVx? may not be simplified further.
