Which statement about \((\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{8})\) is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is \(3\sqrt{2}\)

\(\sqrt{8}=\sqrt{4\times2}=2\sqrt{2}\). Therefore, \(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{8}=\sqrt{2}+2\sqrt{2}=3\sqrt{2}\). Option B results from incorrectly combining the numbers inside different radicals, while options C and D give an incorrect value or only \(\sqrt{8}\). Exam tip: square-root terms can be added or subtracted like algebraic terms only when their radicands are the same after simplification.
