Find the cube root of \(\frac{8}{27}\) and \(-\frac{8}{27}\).

Solution

The image appears to be an exercise involving finding cube roots of expressions, specifically dealing with fractional bases. Let's break down the steps shown in the image.

Steps Shown in the Image:

  1. Find the cube root of 827\frac{8}{27} and 827-\frac{8}{27}:

    • The cube root of 827\frac{8}{27} is expressed as 8273\sqrt[3]{\frac{8}{27}}.
    • Similarly, the cube root of 827-\frac{8}{27} is expressed as 8273\sqrt[3]{-\frac{8}{27}}.
  2. Calculating Cube Roots:

    • For 8273\sqrt[3]{\frac{8}{27}}:
      • Recognize that 827=2333\frac{8}{27} = \frac{2^3}{3^3}.
      • Therefore, 8273=83273=23\sqrt[3]{\frac{8}{27}} = \frac{\sqrt[3]{8}}{\sqrt[3]{27}} = \frac{2}{3}.
    • For 8273\sqrt[3]{-\frac{8}{27}}:
      • Similarly, 8273=83273=23\sqrt[3]{-\frac{8}{27}} = -\frac{\sqrt[3]{8}}{\sqrt[3]{27}} = -\frac{2}{3}.
  3. Conclusion:

    • The cube root of 827\frac{8}{27} is 23\frac{2}{3}.
    • The cube root of 827-\frac{8}{27} is 23-\frac{2}{3}.

Summary:

  • The cube roots of 827\frac{8}{27} and 827-\frac{8}{27} are 23\frac{2}{3} and 23-\frac{2}{3}, respectively.
