Answer

11⋅516511 \cdot 5^{16} \sqrt{5}

Step-by-step solution

7 steps

Here's how to simplify the expression without a calculator:

  1. Factor out the common term in the numerator.

    The common factor in 536+5345^{36} + 5^{34} is 5345^{34}.

    536+534=534⋅52+534⋅1=534(52+1)5^{36} + 5^{34} = 5^{34} \cdot 5^2 + 5^{34} \cdot 1 = 5^{34}(5^2 + 1)
  2. Simplify the term inside the parenthesis.

    52+1=25+1=265^2 + 1 = 25 + 1 = 26
  3. Substitute this back into the expression under the square root.

    The expression becomes:

    11534(26)13011 \sqrt{\frac{5^{34}(26)}{130}}
  4. Simplify the fraction inside the square root.

    Notice that 130=5×26130 = 5 \times 26.

    26130=265×26=15\frac{26}{130} = \frac{26}{5 \times 26} = \frac{1}{5}
  5. Rewrite the expression under the square root using the simplified fraction.

    5345=534−1=533\frac{5^{34}}{5} = 5^{34-1} = 5^{33}

    So the expression is now:

    1153311 \sqrt{5^{33}}
  6. Simplify the square root of 5335^{33}.

    We can write 5335^{33} as 532⋅515^{32} \cdot 5^1.

    533=532⋅5=532⋅5\sqrt{5^{33}} = \sqrt{5^{32} \cdot 5} = \sqrt{5^{32}} \cdot \sqrt{5}

    Since 532=(532)1/2=532/2=516\sqrt{5^{32}} = (5^{32})^{1/2} = 5^{32/2} = 5^{16}.
    So, 533=5165\sqrt{5^{33}} = 5^{16} \sqrt{5}.

  7. Combine with the leading factor of 11.

    11⋅516511 \cdot 5^{16} \sqrt{5}
