To simplify the expression
-
Recognize that
can be expressed as a power of 2: So we can rewrite the expression as: -
The square root can be rewritten as a fractional exponent:
Therefore, we have: -
Now we apply the exponent to both components in the parentheses:
-
Using the property of exponents
: -
Now we can calculate the exponents:
and
Thus, the equivalent expression is:
This final expression,
