Since 147 = 49 \u00d7 3 and \u221a49 = 7, we get \u221a147 = 7\u221a3. To simplify a surd, split the number under the root into a perfect-square factor and the remaining factor. Take the square root of the perfect square outside the radical. The expression is simplified when no square factor greater than 1 remains under the root. The correct answer is 7\u221a3, which matches the calculation or reasoning shown.","mcq_options":[{"right":"no","answer":"3\u221a7"},{"right":"no","answer":"21"},{"right":"no","answer":"7\u221a49"},{"right":"no","answer":"\u221a3"},{"right":"yes","answer":"7\u221a3"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":2750,"title":"Advanced Mathematics","slug":"advanced-mathematics"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":2655,"title":"Square Roots","slug":"square-roots"},{"id":2900,"title":"Surds","slug":"surds"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/21333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=21333"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=21333"},{"taxonomy":"education_level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/education_level?post=21333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
