Math Problem Statement

Rewrite the irrational cube root ³√48 as a product of an integer and another irrational cube root.

Solution

To solve the question, we are tasked with rewriting the cube root of 4848 as the product of an integer and another irrational cube root.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Break down 4848 into a product of a perfect cube and another factor:

    • 48=8×648 = 8 \times 6, where 88 is a perfect cube (232^3).
  2. Apply the cube root property:

    • 483=8×63=8363\sqrt[3]{48} = \sqrt[3]{8 \times 6} = \sqrt[3]{8} \cdot \sqrt[3]{6}.
  3. Simplify 83\sqrt[3]{8}:

    • 83=2\sqrt[3]{8} = 2.
  4. Rewrite the expression:

    • 483=263\sqrt[3]{48} = 2 \cdot \sqrt[3]{6}.

Final Answer:

The correct choice is: 263\boxed{2\sqrt[3]{6}}
