Math Problem Statement

Simplify 125^{1/3}.

Solution

The given expression is 12513125^{\frac{1}{3}}.

This represents the cube root of 125. To simplify this:

12513=1253125^{\frac{1}{3}} = \sqrt[3]{125}

We know that:

125=5×5×5=53125 = 5 \times 5 \times 5 = 5^3

Thus, the cube root of 125 is:

1253=5\sqrt[3]{125} = 5

So, 12513=5125^{\frac{1}{3}} = 5.
