To evaluate the expression \(-\sqrt{424} + \sqrt{12} + \sqrt{56} + \sqrt{427}\), we need to compute the square roots and then combine the results.

  1. Calculate each square root:

    • \(\sqrt{424} = \sqrt{4 \times 106} = 2\sqrt{106}\)
    • \(\sqrt{12} = \sqrt{4 \times 3} = 2\sqrt{3}\)
    • \(\sqrt{56} = \sqrt{4 \times 14} = 2\sqrt{14}\)
    • \(\sqrt{427}\) is already in its simplest form.
  2. Rewrite the expression with the simplifications: \[ -\sqrt{424} + \sqrt{12} + \sqrt{56} + \sqrt{427} = -2\sqrt{106} + 2\sqrt{3} + 2\sqrt{14} + \sqrt{427} \]

  3. Combine like terms: \[ = 2\sqrt{3} + 2\sqrt{14} - 2\sqrt{106} + \sqrt{427} \]

Since the values cannot be further simplified without numerical evaluation, the expression can be rearranged to emphasize the components:

\[ 2\sqrt{3} + 2\sqrt{14} - 2\sqrt{106} + \sqrt{427} \]

If you want to approximate the square roots numerically:

  • \(\sqrt{424} \approx 20.616\)
  • \(\sqrt{12} \approx 3.464\)
  • \(\sqrt{56} \approx 7.483\)
  • \(\sqrt{427} \approx 20.674\)

Now putting the approximate values into the expression:

\[ -\sqrt{424} + \sqrt{12} + \sqrt{56} + \sqrt{427} \approx -20.616 + 3.464 + 7.483 + 20.674 \]

After calculating this step-by-step:

\(-20.616 + 3.464 = -17.152\)

\(-17.152 + 7.483 \approx -9.669\)

Finally,

\(-9.669 + 20.674 \approx 10.995\)

Thus, the final approximate value of the expression is roughly \(10.995\).

Fill in the missing values as:

  1. \(-2\sqrt{106}\)
  2. \(2\sqrt{3}\)
  3. \(2\sqrt{14}\)
  4. \(\sqrt{427}\)

And the approximate numerical result is \(10.995\).
