Simplify \(\sqrt{160r^2 + \sqrt{71r^4 + \sqrt{100r^8}}}\)
The correct answer is C. 13r
Let's solve this problem step by step. We are given the expression \(\sqrt{160r^2 + \sqrt{71r^4 + \sqrt{100r^8}}}\) and asked to simplify it.
First, let's simplify the innermost square root:
\(\sqrt{160r^2 + \sqrt{71r^4 + \sqrt{100r^8}}}\)
= \(\sqrt{160r^2 + \sqrt{71r^4 + 10r^4}}\)
Now, let's simplify the next square root:
= \(\sqrt{160r^2 + \sqrt{81r^4}}\)
= \(\sqrt{160r^2 + 9r^2}\)
Finally, let's simplify the outermost square root:
= \(\sqrt{169r^2}\)
= 13r
