Question

State whether True or False $\sqrt[5]{5128}$ is a surd

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

$\sqrt[5]{5128}=\sqrt[5]{52^5\times 2^2}=2\times \sqrt[5]{52^2}=2\times \sqrt[5]{54}$
Since, $2\times \sqrt[5]{54}$ cannot be simplified further, $\sqrt[5]{5128}$ is a surd.
