17√10

Answer 1

To simplify \(\sqrt{170}\), we start by factoring 170 into its prime factors:

\[
170 = 2 \times 5 \times 17
\]

Since there are no perfect squares among the factors, we cannot simplify further. Therefore, the simplest form of \(\sqrt{170}\) is:

\[
\sqrt{170}
\]

So the correct response is:

This radical expression is already fully simplified.
