Answers
GPT-4o mini
To simplify the radical \(\sqrt{170}\), we can start by factoring 170 into its prime factors:
\[
170 = 2 \times 85 = 2 \times 5 \times 17
\]
Since none of the prime factors have a pair (as they are all raised to the first power), \(\sqrt{170}\) cannot be simplified further. Therefore, the simplified form of \(\sqrt{170}\) remains:
\[
\sqrt{170}
\]
If you want a decimal approximation, \(\sqrt{170} \approx 13.0384\).
