Math Problem Statement
Simplify the radical expression. 3 64x14 Write your answer in the form A, 3 B, or A3 B, where A and B are constants or expressions in x. Use at most one radical in your answer, and at most one absolute value symbol in your expression for A.
Solution
We aim to simplify the radical expression and write it in the form , where and are constants or expressions in .
Step-by-Step Solution
-
Break down the terms inside the radical:
- can be factored as: Here, is a perfect cube, and is also a perfect cube.
-
Separate perfect cubes from the rest:
- Rewrite the expression using these factorizations: [ \sqrt[3]{64x^{14}} = \sqrt[3]{64} \cdot \sqrt[3]{x^{12}} \cdot \sqrt[3]{x^2} ]
- Simplify the perfect cube terms: [ \sqrt[3]{64} = 4, \quad \sqrt[3]{x^{12}} = x^4 ]
-
Combine the simplified terms:
- We now have: [ \sqrt[3]{64x^{14}} = 4x^4 \cdot \sqrt[3]{x^2
