A radical expression is composed of three parts:

The Radicand - The number or term under the horizontal bar of the radical symbol.

Radical Symbol - The Radical Symbol √

Index - The number near the "check" part of the radical symbol.

In the given expression, 4 is the index. We are supposed to find the 4th root of x to the third power.

Hope this helps.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
