Understanding the Problem
The given problem involves simplifying a complex expression that includes square roots and exponents. To simplify this expression, we need to understand the properties of exponents and square roots.
What is a Square Root?
A square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number. For example, the square root of 16 is 4, because 4 multiplied by 4 equals 16. The square root of a number is denoted by the symbol √.
What is an Exponent?
An exponent is a small number that is raised to a power. For example, 2^3 means 2 to the power of 3, which equals 2 multiplied by 2 multiplied by 2, or 8.
