Math Problem Statement

Which expression is equivalent to cube root of 64y^3?

Solution

The problem shown asks to determine which expression is equivalent to 64y33\sqrt[3]{64y^3}.

Let's break it down:

  1. We know that 64y33\sqrt[3]{64y^3} means we are looking for the cube root of both 64 and y3y^3.

  2. First, find the cube root of 64: 643=4\sqrt[3]{64} = 4 because 43=644^3 = 64.

  3. Next, take the cube root of y3y^3, which is just yy since: y33=y\sqrt[3]{y^3} = y

So, 64y33=4y\sqrt[3]{64y^3} = 4y.

Thus, the correct answer is 4y4y.

Do you want more details or have any other questions? Here are five related questions to expand your knowledge:

  1. How do you compute cube roots for non-perfect cubes?
  2. What happens if the exponent in y3y^3 were different (e.g., y5y^5)?
  3. How would you solve for higher roots, like x4\sqrt[4]{x}?
  4. What’s the difference between cube roots and square roots?
  5. Can radicals and exponents be used together, such as (x2)1/3(x^2)^{1/3}?

Tip: Remember, the cube root of xnx^n can be rewritten as xn/3x^{n/3}, which simplifies many expressions!
