To rewrite \( 8 \frac{1}{2} \) using a root, we first convert it to an improper fraction:
\[
8 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{17}{2}
\]
Now, we want to express this as a root. One way to relate fractions to roots is to consider the square root of the numerator divided by the square root of the denominator. Thus, we can express \( \frac{17}{2} \) as:
\[
\frac{17}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{17^2}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{289}}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{289}{2}}
\]
However, this does not directly correspond to the provided options. If the goal is simply to express \( 8 \frac{1}{2} \) in a form more typically taught in elementary math equations, the option that resembles this presentation is:
**None of the provided options correctly represent \( 8 \frac{1}{2} \)**.
If you wish to pick the most relevant option in relation to common mathematical representations, a common conversion might be \( 8 - \sqrt{1/2} \), but it actually doesn't equal \( 8 \frac{1}{2} \).
Please double-check your options to make sure there's not a relevant form of that expression that uses roots or clarifies that none apply. If you meant to express this in another mathematical operation, please specify, and I'll be happy to assist!
