Can the sum be simplified without first simplifying the individual radical expressions? $\sqrt[13]{160}+\sqrt[13]{295,245}$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sum of radical expressions can only be simplified if the radicands (the numbers under the radical sign) are the same and the indices (the small number outside the radical sign indicating the root) are also the same. In this case, simplifying the individual radical expressions might reveal a common radicand, but without doing so, the sum cannot be simplified directly.
