Math Problem Statement

(\sqrt(9y^(3)))/(\root(3)(8y^(2)))

Solution

To simplify the expression 9y38y23\frac{\sqrt{9y^3}}{\sqrt[3]{8y^2}}, we can approach it step by step:

  1. Simplify the square root in the numerator: 9y3=9y3=3y3/2\sqrt{9y^3} = \sqrt{9} \cdot \sqrt{y^3} = 3 \cdot y^{3/2} So, the numerator becomes 3y3/23y^{3/2}.

  2. Simplify the cube root in the denominator: [ \sqrt[3]{8y^2} = \sqrt[3]{8} \cdot \sqrt[3]{y^2} = 2 \cdot y^{2/3} ] So, the denominator becomes 2y2/32y^{2/3}.

  3. Combine the simplified parts: 3y3/22y2/3\frac{3y^{3/2}}{2y^{2/3}} To simplify further, subtract the exponents of yy in the numerator and denominator: y3223=y9646=y56y^{\frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{3}} = y^{\frac{9}{6} - \frac{4}{6}} = y^{\frac{5}{6}}

    Therefore, the simplified expression is: 32y5/6\frac{3}{2} y^{5/6}

So, the final simplified expression is 32y5/6\frac{3}{2} y^{5/6}.
