Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem requires simplifying the radical expression:
The answer should be written in the form , , or a similar form, where and are constants or expressions in .
Step-by-Step Solution:
-
Break Down the Cube Root: [ \sqrt[3]{8x^6} = \sqrt[3]{8} \cdot \sqrt[3]{x^6}. ]
-
Simplify Each Part:
- , because .
- , because .
So, the expression simplifies to:
-
Final Answer: The simplified expression is:
Let me know if you'd like further explanation or additional examples.
