Math Problem Statement

Simplify the expression (3√12) / (4∛54).

Solution

The expression in the image is:

3124543\frac{3\sqrt{12}}{4 \sqrt[3]{54}}

Step-by-step simplification:

  1. Simplify the square root of 12: 12=4×3=23\sqrt{12} = \sqrt{4 \times 3} = 2\sqrt{3} Therefore, 312=3×23=633\sqrt{12} = 3 \times 2\sqrt{3} = 6\sqrt{3}.

  2. Simplify the cube root of 54: [ \sqrt[3]{54} = \sqrt[3]{2 \times 27} = \sqrt[3]{27 \times 2} = 3 \times \sqrt[3]{2} ] So, 4543=4×3×23=12234 \sqrt[3]{54} = 4 \times 3 \times \sqrt[3]{2} = 12 \sqrt[3]{2}.

  3. Combine the expression: [ \frac{6\sqrt{3}}{12\sqrt[3]{2}} = \frac{6}{12} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt[3]{2}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt[3]{2}} ]

  4. Final result: 3223\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt[3]{2}}

This is the simplified version of the expression.

  2. What are the properties of cube roots compared to square roots?
  3. Can you express this result in a decimal form for approximation?
  4. How would this change if the numerator had a cube root instead of a square root?
  5. Can this expression be further simplified using logarithms?

Tip: Always check if numbers under a square root or cube root can be factored into smaller prime components for easier simplification.
