Math Problem Statement

answer 2(square root)2 over 3(square root with index of 3)3x^4

Solution

We need to simplify the given expression:

2233x43\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3\sqrt[3]{3x^4}}

Step-by-step Solution:

  1. Understand the components:

    • 222\sqrt{2}: The numerator has a coefficient of 22 multiplied by the square root of 22.
    • 33x433\sqrt[3]{3x^4}: The denominator has a coefficient of 33 multiplied by the cube root of 3x43x^4.
  2. Express cube root more clearly: The denominator is 333x433 \cdot \sqrt[3]{3} \cdot \sqrt[3]{x^4}.

  3. Combine the terms: The fraction is rewritten as: [ \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3 \cdot \sqrt[3]{3} \cdot \sqrt[3]{x^4}} ]

  4. Simplify powers where possible:

    • There are no like terms to simplify directly because the square root (\sqrt{\cdot}) and cube root (3\sqrt[3]{\cdot}) do not simplify with each other.
  5. Rewrite in simpler notation: The expression is already in its most reduced form: 2233x43\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3\sqrt[3]{3x^4}}

Final Answer:

2233x43\boxed{\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3\sqrt[3]{3x^4}}}
