Arrange the following numbers in the ascending order :
$\sqrt{3},\ \sqrt[3]{4},\ \sqrt[4]{10}$


Given: Numbers $\sqrt{3},\ \sqrt[3]{4},\ \sqrt[4]{10}$.

To do: To arrange the given numbers in ascending order.

Solution:

Given numbers:

$\sqrt{3}=3^{\frac{1}{2}}$

$\sqrt[3]{4}=4^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$\sqrt[4]{10}=10^{\frac{1}{4}}$

LCM of the denominators of the exponents $2,\ 3,\ 4=12$

Therefore, $\sqrt{3}=3^{\frac{1}{2}}$

$=3^{\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{6}{6}}$

$=3^{\frac{6}{12}}$

$=729^{\frac{1}{12}}$

$=\sqrt[12]{729}$

$\sqrt[3]{4}=4^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$=4^{\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{4}{4}}$

$=4^{\frac{4}{12}}$

$=( 4^4)^{\frac{1}{12}}$

$=256^{\frac{1}{12}}$

$=\sqrt[12]{256}$

And $\sqrt[4]{10}=10^{\frac{1}{4}}$

$=10^{\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{3}{3}}$

$=10^{\frac{3}{12}}$

$=( 10^3)^{\frac{1}{12}}$

$=1000^{\frac{1}{12}}$

$=\sqrt[12]{1000}$

On arranging the given numbers in ascending order

$\sqrt[12]{256}<\sqrt[12]{729}<\sqrt[12]{1000}$

Or

 $\sqrt[3]{4}<\sqrt{3}<\sqrt[4]{10}$
