To simplify the expression \( \sqrt[3]{64} + 3(22 + \sqrt{5}) \), let's break it down step by step.
-
Calculate \( \sqrt[3]{64} \): \[ \sqrt[3]{64} = 4 \quad (\text{since } 4 \times 4 \times 4 = 64) \]
-
Calculate the expression inside the parentheses: \[ 22 + \sqrt{5} \quad (\text{leave this as it is for now}) \]
-
Multiply by 3: \[ 3(22 + \sqrt{5}) = 3 \times 22 + 3 \times \sqrt{5} = 66 + 3\sqrt{5} \]
-
Combine everything: \[ \sqrt[3]{64} + 3(22 + \sqrt{5}) = 4 + 66 + 3\sqrt{5} = 70 + 3\sqrt{5} \]
Since \( 3\sqrt{5} \) is not a whole number, it can't be simplified further into one of the options given. Therefore, the expression simplifies to \( 70 + 3\sqrt{5} \).
However, none of the options (13, 17, 21, 31) match this result. It appears we may have a miscommunication on the expression intended for simplification or there’s an issue with the provided choices.
If you prefer to select from the options you've provided without correct calculations, please clarify or share the expression again for accurate results.
