Square root inside a square root Hi guys I just want to ask how to solve this. The given is: f(x)=x then solve for the (f⋅f)(x) then it becomes. (f⋅f)(x)=f(f(x)) f(x)=x Can the expression be simplified?

Answer: x=x12 x=(x12)12=x14=4{x}

The nth root of a number a: an=a1/n The square root of the square root of x is therefore x=(x)1/2=(x1/2)1/2=x1/4=x4 Since the domain of x is [0,+∞), this is also the domain of x=x1/4

Square root inside a square root Hi guys I just want to ask how to solve this. The given is:

f (x) = \sqrt{x}

then solve for the

(f \cdot f) (x)

then it becomes.

(f \cdot f) (x) = f (f (x))

f (x) = \sqrt{\sqrt{x}}

Can the expression be simplified?

Answer:

\sqrt{x} = x^{\frac{1}{2}}

\sqrt{\sqrt{x}} = {(x^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{\frac{1}{2}} = x^{\frac{1}{4}} = \sqrt{4} {x}

As we have the unwritten index 2 for the sqare root, we multiply it by the index of the root inside the first root.
$\sqrt{\sqrt{x}} = \sqrt[2 \times 2]{x} = \sqrt[4]{x}$
Another example is: $\sqrt[3]{\sqrt[4]{x}} = \sqrt[3 \times 4]{x} = \sqrt[12]{x}$

The nth root of a number a: $\sqrt[n]{a} = a^{1 / n}$
The square root of the square root of x is therefore
$\sqrt{\sqrt{x}} = (\sqrt{x})^{1 / 2} = (x^{1 / 2})^{1 / 2} = x^{1 / 4} = \sqrt[4]{x}$
Since the domain of $\sqrt{x} i s [0, + \infty)$ , this is also the domain of $\sqrt{\sqrt{x}} = x^{1 / 4}$
