Nested Radical
1. The problem is to simplify the nested radical expression $$\sqrt{75 - 3\sqrt{27 + \sqrt{49}}}$$.
2. Start with the innermost radical: \(\sqrt{49} = 7\).
3. Substitute back: \(\sqrt{27 + 7} = \sqrt{34}\).
4. Now the expression is \(\sqrt{75 - 3\sqrt{34}}\).
5. To simplify \(\sqrt{75 - 3\sqrt{34}}\), consider the expression as \(\sqrt{a} - \sqrt{b}\) or of the form \(\sqrt{x - y}\), but here it does not simplify straightforwardly using simple integers.
6. Alternatively, we check if \(\sqrt{75 - 3\sqrt{34}} = \sqrt{m} - \sqrt{n}\) where \(m,n\) are positive numbers.
7. Assuming \(\sqrt{75 - 3\sqrt{34}} = \sqrt{m} - \sqrt{n}\), then by squaring both sides:
$$
75 - 3\sqrt{34} = m + n - 2\sqrt{mn}
$$
8. Equate the rational and irrational parts:
- Rational part: \(75 = m + n\)
- Irrational part: \(-3\sqrt{34} = -2\sqrt{mn} \implies 3\sqrt{34} = 2\sqrt{mn}\)
9. Square the irrational equation:
$$
(3\sqrt{34})^2 = (2\sqrt{mn})^2 \
9 \times 34 = 4mn \
306 = 4mn \
mn = \frac{306}{4} = 76.5
$$
10. We need to find \(m,n\) such that:
$$
m + n = 75 \
mn = 76.5
$$
11. The quadratic equation for \(x\) (representing either \(m\) or \(n\)) is:
$$
x^2 - 75x + 76.5 = 0
$$
12. Calculate the discriminant:
$$
\Delta = 75^2 - 4 \times 1 \times 76.5 = 5625 - 306 = 5319
$$
13. The roots are:
$$
x = \frac{75 \pm \sqrt{5319}}{2}
$$
14. Since \(\sqrt{5319} \approx 72.95\),
$$
x_1 = \frac{75 + 72.95}{2} = 73.975, \quad x_2 = \frac{75 - 72.95}{2} = 1.025
$$
15. So \(m \approx 73.975\) and \(n \approx 1.025\).
16. Then:
$$
\sqrt{75 - 3\sqrt{34}} = \sqrt{73.975} - \sqrt{1.025} \approx 8.6 - 1.01 = 7.59
$$
17. This suggests no simpler radical form, so the simplified exact form is \(\sqrt{75 - 3\sqrt{27 + \sqrt{49}}} = \sqrt{75 - 3\sqrt{34}}\).
18. The numerical approximate value is \(7.59\).
Final answer:
$$\sqrt{75 - 3\sqrt{27 + \sqrt{49}}} = \sqrt{75 - 3\sqrt{34}} \approx 7.59$$
